Having a WILD time!

It's well past time for another post, and it'll be a long one as we've been busy!

A few weeks ago (wow, time flies...) Greg and some of his peers from work participated in the Skyway Open downtown. Architecture firms from the area compete to design mini-golf holes that are then set up and played in the skyways dowtown. This was their hole. If you look closely, you can see that it spells Minneapolis as you move left to right. The "M" is that smokestack at the far left, the I is laying flat taking up the whole width, etc. Greg's big contribution was the windmill serving as the second I at the right. The windmill even moves.Their concept was that the city gets greener as you move to the right, signifying our move into greener times in the future.

Last week my uncle and his buddies (cowboy re-enactors) were in town to promote the fine state of South Dakota. South Dakota is promoting tourism in its neighboring states and as part of this campaign they wrapped two of the lightrail trains with images from South Dakota. We got to have dinner with them while they were in town. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera (I know, I know) so no pictures of my uncle. But they did make headlines here. You can also see their website here: Wild West Creations. Being with these guys in public was fun: sooooo many people are drawn to them...they want to know what their up to, they have all kinds of questions about them, and little boys especially just stand there in awe!

Also, we recently gathered with a group of friends from college. It's hard to believe we've known them for going on 12 years! We had a game night, complete with homemade cream soda, Balderdash, foozball on a brand-spankin' new table, and appetizers. Here's a picture of one of the two newest friends in our gang:

I got to babysit for the other newest friend in our circle from college last night. We had a good time playing, singing, and watching Cars. Although, I have to say all these little ones we know are such good kids that we're going to have really high expectations when we have our own.


Also, last but certainly not least, this week we got tickets to the Wild. It was probably one of the best games that we could've gotten tickets to, not only was there a good fight, but we went into overtime and then a shootout. We ended up losing (bummer!) but what a night!

So now the weekend is upon us. Greg is working, and I have a little bit of work I should do, too. The cats are snoozing the day away and I'm going to spend the evening doing something I want to do. Not sure what that is yet!

Have a great weekend everybody!
