Our neighbours here. There are lots of squirrels all over the place.
Riding her trike. There are lots of sidewalks all over for kids to ride bikes on... Lots of people ride bikes around here.
This is one of the playgrounds. There are so many buildings here, and a number of different playgrounds. It is great! We are still discovering what there is around us.
WooHoo! They also have swings here... something we missed at Wyview.
This is an average view as you walk on the sidewalk. You can see 'the brown bus shelter', which is a landmark here. As you can see, everything is very green and there are a lot of trees. There has been a lot of rain here in Wisconsin. There was even flooding in some areas. We have enjoyed having the rain, that smell and the sound as you are sleeping! The only drawback is that with the rain has come the multiple breeding of way too many very annoying mosquitoes. Whenever you go outside they are there. So when the winter comes and we are freezing our tushes off, we will have to remind ourselves that at least the mosquitoes are gone.
Our community here at Eagle Heights (which is 'On-campus married housing') is pretty diverse and international. There are a lot of Chinese people. And there are lots of children. There is a community garden that you can rent a space from. They have social events pretty regularly, and seem to be aware of the tenants. We shall see... We have a lot of other LDS people who live here (and have been friendly and very helpful) and many of the people who live here are friendly too.

Hey Tish,
It's great to see an update from Wisconsin. Sounds like you are living in a great place. That's so cool that you can use space in a community garden. Keep the pics and updates coming. I didn't read the second part yet, so forgive me if this question is already answered, but what exactly is Ryan studying? Take care!

Tish! I'm glad you're there and that Sarah has so many nice places to explore on her bike. I hope the mosquitoes calm down so you can enjoy the outdoors before it gets too cold.
We loved visiting with you and hope you meet some wonderful new friends.

We miss you all so much! Seeing your kitchen made me want to cook because you are such a great chef! Soraya misses Sarah so much; there aren't very many kids her age around our complex, so the grade-school kids end up entertaining her when we stroll outside. The trees there are gorgeous--Quite a change from the dry Utah desert. We love you! Take care!
