Last weekend there was a retreat for the family medicine residents. It provided a nice, laid back atmosphere for the residents to get to know each other because although they are in the same program, they often don't run into each other at the hospital or clinic settings. The same is true for significant others, we had a chance to get to know one another and either commiserate or support each other through this intern year.
Here are a few pics from the retreat. The first one is Ella, a little girl who is turning five this month, holding Henry. Ella absolutely adores Henry, and I'm surprised at the patience Henry exhibits because although Ella is oh-so-careful, she sometimes treats him like a rag doll. Ella and her family are becoming fast friends of ours, as her dad is one of George's colleagues, which means we're all in this together!
The other picture is from our walk around the retreat center. I hope you can get an appreciation of the beautiful Wisconsin landscape in the background! The list of interesting things we saw on this short walk is as follows: one set of deer tracks, walnuts, a stick bug (quite amazed we saw this one!), a large ant hill, and two big grasshoppers. And most of these were spotted by Ella -- thank goodness for 5 year old eyes, they are so much more observant than adult ones.
