The sun is shining. The weather is great! We are getting into Summer feels this week!

We are growing chia plants and grass at our Ecumen day services in Mankato and St Peter. We had a silly time putting together funny faces on each of the pots so that as the chia and grass grow, it looks like hair. We think we did a pretty great job. Now it's time for some haircuts!

Another Wild West week at Ecumen Pathstone Adult Day Services in St. Peter! 🤠🌵

We had so many wonderful photos from this themed week that it was hard to choose which ones to share with our Facebook friends!

Throughout the week, participants enjoyed a variety of Wild West activities including Ring the Sarsaparilla, Cowboy Hat Toss, Wild West BINGO, Horseshoes, and the always-popular Tin Can Shoot with our Nerf gun.

At Ecumen, we are incredibly grateful for the dedicated team at Pathstone Adult Day Services. They work hard every day to support both our clients and their at-home caregivers—and they do it in a way that brings joy, laughter, and meaningful memories to everyone involved.

These photos are proof that aging doesn’t mean you stop living life to the fullest. And working in aging services is about so much more than care—it’s about connection, creativity, fun, and yes… sometimes being a buddy at the saloon tossing back a sarsaparilla!
