Washington Wedding

We traveled to Washington for my nieces wedding. What a beautiful state! It was so nice seeing everyone together for such a special occasion. Congratulations Claire! 

 

Minnesota

For our trip this past summer we drove to see my sister who lives in Minnesota. We had a lovely time! It's a beautiful state and we really enjoyed ourselves. Minnesota is a prime state to grow hostas in so my sister took me to several great nurseries and even a home garden tour. Talk about beautiful plants! I managed to buy quite a few and load up the rental car to capacity. 

 They took us all over their town and we had a nice time shopping and hanging out. It was a nice relaxing trip and I'm so glad we went to see them.

They have a fun back yard with ropes and hammocks, kids had fun!

We said bye to my sister and drove to Minneapolis to catch a Foo Fighters concert. It was at Target Field. What an experience! We parked at our hotel and took the metro downtown to the Twins baseball field. The weather was questionable with possible rain so I took a poncho (couldn't get anyone else to take one). We bought nosebleed seats way at the top, which also happened to be under a roof. As we were waiting for the concert to start we watched the dark clouds roll in and it started pouring on everyone except the nosebleed seats, yay us. They delayed the concert slightly and squeegeed the rain off the stage but then all was good. Great concert! Got out very late and then the rain started again on our metro ride home. Torrential downpour. We had to get off at our stop and make a run for the hotel which was probably half a mile away. I was quite dry in my poncho, my family not so much. It sure made for a memorable trip. 

Portrait Mode

I'd had an old iPhone 6 forever and decided it was time to upgrade it (even though there wasn't anything wrong with it). I replaced it with a refurbished iPhone 13 Pro Max and love it! The new camera is fun to play with and I snapped some pictures of the kids while waiting in the airport. They are my cute and goofy kids.

 I also like to take it outside and snap pictures of the critters. 

Birthday Boy

My oldest just turned 17 and will be starting their senior year of high school this fall. Time is a thief as I swear this kid just turned 10 the other day. I'm super proud of him and am excited to see where his future takes him.The birthday hat has made it 17 years now!
