A chance to visit with family and friends and spend time on campus with Blue II, "Trip", and Hink! We always seem to pack in lots of things in a short time: a visit with friends at Barnes & Noble, supper with Joe & Judy, ran the Bulldog Jog 5K, and finally were able to see Riley play B-Ball in Franklin, before heading back to Lewis Center!
