Birthdays and Baseball...

This weekend we went to Minneapolis to suprise my grandma Marge and help her celebrate 80th birthday. Judy, Gary, Rose, Ivan, and Katie all went to the cities with her on Friday and over the course of the weekend Chance, Annie, Oliver, John, Melissa, Casey, Riley, Jerry, Laura, Brandon, Kim, Joey, my Dad, Bob, and our family all showed up to suprise her. After taking the girls swimming on Saturday morning, we went to the Mall of America. After that, we took the train to the game at the Metrodome where the Twins played, and beat the Los Angeles Angels of Aneheim.

On Sunday we drove home and stopped in Sioux Falls to see Stacey's sister Tammy who was in town for a conference. We went with her, Tim, Megan, Grandpa Lele, and Grandma Nanna to the Pizza Ranch.
