Uncles and 'Den Pops'

Today, we had the privilege of traveling to West Lafayette to visit Michael's brother Joel who attends Purdue. With much excitement, the majority or what we heard on the way there was "Going to see Uncle Joel?", "Almost to see Uncle Joel?", and with the occasional "See Uncle Ben?" thrown in. In Deacon's mind, they are a couple. They just go together. You can't have one without the other. We were able to enjoy the GORGEOUS day as we walked around campus and Joel showed us where he spends most of his time in various lecture halls. As we walked around, we saw MANY people walking around carrying a HUGE Styrofoam cup. Joel informed us these were 'Den Pops'. So we decided we couldn't leave without trying one. Basically they are fountain drinks that cost only 75 cents. Joel thinks they must sell thousands each day! We enjoyed a pizza at the Boiler Market for dinner. We had such a special day with Uncle Joel and look forward to visiting him again next year!

PHEW! This is the life: the life of a college student!
We love you Joel!

  5. That was great that you were able to visit Joel in his world. It looks like the boys were having a wonderful time. Joel appreciated the effort you put forth to come down to the sacred halls of Purdue! The pictures were super...be sure to save them....they might need to be used in a scrapbook someday:) Love ya, Mom
