Word from Great Falls

Hey all:
Just an update from the Wingys in the Falls. We are all busy...Sam is in a play for middle school. They are working on a play based on Peter and the Starcatchers. Sam has the part of Captain Blackstach or something like that. Sounds like it will be fun. He is also working out at the high school for baseball and doing some conditioning with other coaches up there also. So that is keeping him busy. Madison is doing girl scouts and is involved in a basketball team right now. Softball will be starting soon so she is also keeping us hopping.
On a less happy note, Ben and Katie have decided to postpone the wedding so there will not be a Wingerter wedding on June 14. I guess that means "sprout" Schulte will be number 50! I hope travel plans to Idaho can be changed and worked for a family picnic??? John is in charge this year....so if you would like to John, we would be willing to host the picnic here again. The addition to the Wingerter yard for the summer will be a concrete basketball court. Give it some thought and let's throw out some dates. Late July would work best for us because Jake is going to have to be back at school. Other dates may work, we just need all other schedules first!!
Anyway, hope this finds all of you healthy, happy and sassy!! We are always that way in the Falls!

Love you all
Mary

We were sorry to hear that Ben and Katie have postponed the wedding. We were looking forward to sharing our date with them and of course we were looking forward to another family gathering. Just about any time will work for us for a family picnic. My 40th (OMG!) HS class reunion is in August - 15th-17th - so I would like to avoid that weekend.

Hope things with Ben and Katie are alright. Meghan, I hope you understand that this means that sprout's middle name has to be Hawaii. Or "Aloha" will suffice.

I'm hoping to be able to be around Montana around the second week of August. Hopefully, I can fish with Grampa O, then make the picnic.

Or everyone can come to Chicago for the picnic, for a change! I have a big deck and live across the street from Lincoln Park. And we could put a Cubs game together for whoever wanted to go. I know, I know. This is a pipe dream.

Ben and Katie have our full support in whatever they decide to do - it must've been a difficult decision to make.

On the family picnic note, late july early august works for us. How 'bout somewhere with a lake so we can swim and boat??? We volunteer to rent a boat and haul it down...

Sorry to hear about Ben and Kate. Hope you can work things out to your satisfaction.
Any time except the 4th of July is ok with us for the picnic.

I am applying to St. Thomas Camp this summer and if I get that position I will be done with that August 10th. Maybe a King's Hill family picnic? There's not a lake or anything but a nice little creek and a swamp at the camp... I'm sure the pond scum would make for great swimming companions.

I am sure things will work out for Ben and Katie. Also, so excited that Sam is in a play! YAY THESPIANS!!
