Welcome to "Formanek Pond."  Our family moved to Wadena, Minnesota in the fall of 1994 to pursue our careers as a registered nurse (Traci) and a high school visual arts teacher (Jim) and have loved our time here.  Both of our parents live in our home town of Forest City, Iowa but often times come up to visit us and their grandchildren.  Mikena and Josie are now 11 and 8 years of age.
   This website is a journal of our lives in the summer and winter here in Minnesota and the places we visit.  Near the end of summer 2006 we bought an addition to our summer activities with the purchase of a 25' pontoon boat which you will find in the "Toon Tales" link.  The winter of 2006 we purchased a backyard ice rink kit and are learning to skate all together.  Now the winters are filled with rink outings and snow stories.
  Updates will be frequent so be sure to keep watching the Recent Updates link below along with the main pull-downs above.
