Moo!!!
















The team had a great day touring highlights of the Pigeon area today. They began with a tour of Huron Castings, a local manufacturing plant that pours molten steel into molds making a variety of parts for companies like Caterpillar, Kenworth, the US Military, etc. Afterwards the team joined the Rotary Club of Sebewaing for their lunch meeting and many laughs. Then in the afternoon we toured the Zwemmer Dairy Farm where 4700 cows are milked 3 times daily!

Maddy can be seen here giving things a go in the parlor with each of the rest of the team taking their turn as well. Some with more luck than others coaxing the girls to give milk!

We'll be sorry to see our mates leave us tommorow as they are great fun but know that they will be well looked after by the crew in Bay City.

Hi Jeff:

We are taking good care of the team in Bay City. Yesterday, Mike Stoner provided them with a welcome package which included postage stamps, post cards, maps and different books on Michigan trees, birds, etc.

Later on, Craig, Regina Turner (Camille's host) and I took David and Camille to Bay City's finest restaurant, Old City Hall. They got a chance to really relax, enjoy great food and just hang out. My daughters, Ashley and Amanda were also there. When it was time for us to leave (school night) Ashley said "I'm not ready to go. I could listen to them all night". That sounds familiar. Not bad coming from a 14 year old who is only interested in 14 year old stuff.

Tomorrow, they will be presenting at the Bay City Morning Club then they will be wisked away on a tour of Bay City which will include going to the Museum and City Hall. Later in the afternoon they will be off to Pinconning or Pintucky as we fondly call it.

Tonight, we are having a pot luck for the team at Regina's house. I thought I would introduce them to some Buffalo and fried chicken wings USA style. It should be a good time.
