Pete and Family In The Badlands

A very large John Larsen!

Heck of a way to spend a summer vacation!

Hide and seek fail?

Wipe out! (cue drum solo)

Feeling dizzy yet? Braden Madison and sisters on the ledge at the Willis (Sears) Tower in Chicago.

Webmaster Dave Thornton & Yvonne in the Swiss Alps this spring. Doesn't count for this contest; just for fun!

Matt Stoel doing some serious 4-wheeling in the Black Hills.

Leon Stoel and Family in the Black Hills.

Mikah Hagenlock; bonus points if you can guess where the photo was taken (just kidding!)

Jon Rames (and sister?) in The Big Apple. Great look!

Another of Dave Rames' favorites. What could be more American than a hot dog on summer vacation?

Prairie Pajamas! Dawson Desaulniers enjoying a beautiful West-River SD sunset with his family near Martin, SD.

Katie Hannestad Friends from church in Estes Park, CO! Sweet view, sweet vacation!

Luke Latza catching some gnarly wave action... Looks like he's enjoying himself!

Luke Latza and his family on vacation in Hawaii! Awesome!

Luke Latza and his brother running on the beach.

Unfortunately the Summerline group could not make make the parade in St Clair, MN, on Sunday. Instead approximately 25 parents, staff, and members showed up Sunday afternoon to take the broken glass out of the bus and clean up the offices in the Armory.  Most of the contents of Room 9 was taken outside and blown off with an air compressor. There was no damage to any of the drum equipment and “Room 9″ finally got the cleaning it has needed for some time now. (click here to see pics before & after the cleanup.)

More good news: Pete was able to get replacement side glass, windshield, and 2 rear windows from the original owner of the bus, all of which was donated! On Monday, several volunteers removed the old caulking, and Tuesday morning Dean and Pete put in all of the side glass.  Tuesday some of the Summerline parents scrub cleaned the inside of the bus, and tomorrow we will have the windshield and rear glass professionally installed. The bus will be ready to go to Sioux City this Friday! What at first seemed to be impossible has been made possible.  All through the generous volunteer time of several individuals.   

A special thanks to Dean Marty for spearheading the replacement effort. 

The Beat Goes On!!!

If you have any information that might help identify the individuals who committed this senseless crime, please call Pete Hansen — 605-376-9581 or the Sioux Falls Police Department. Anonymous tips can be submitted to the Police through the Crime Stoppers of the Sioux Empire website; www.crimestopperssiouxempire.com.

Update: A special THANK-YOU to all who could come and help clean up today. I don’t think any of us was prepared for the dusty mess that a fire extinguisher can make. Pete has a good lead on windows from the bus company in Pipestone that originally had the bus, so if all goes well it will be ready to go by Friday night. If not, we will go with Plan B: use a church bus that Pete has lined up, or Plan C: carpool and take just the trailer. We will not let this setback keep us down.
