Fun in Farmington

For the 4th of July weekend my Mom, Erik and I went to visit Erik's family in Farmington, WI. They used to live in Milwaukee but have since moved West and out into the country. We really enjoy ourselves and spent a lot of time just hanging out and playing games. Mom, Charleen and I did go shopping in Cedarburg on Friday and found some great buys. Plus we went to the most amazing scrapbooking store. I just love it!!!! On Saturday, Erik and I went golfing with his brothers outside of the town of Jefferson. We had a blast and were glad to have golfed early because it did get very HOT that afternoon. On Sunday some of the extended family came over to celebrate the 4th. We grilled out, played lawn games and enjoyed chatting in the the wonderfully air-conditioned house!

The "adults" playing Apples to Apples while the "kids" played Mario on the Wii.

The best part of the visit, besides spending time with family, was the addition of the new puppy, Leia! She is 7 weeks old and adorable!!!! We enjoyed playing with her and relaxing with her.


Leia is SOOOO cute!


She loved sleeping and relaxing anywhere. Tim is pretty relaxed too :)

Target Field

On Monday Erik and I met Shawna, Mitch, Anthony and their friend, Andy at the Twins game. I was so excited to see Target Field for the first time. It was a bit of an adventure deciding where to park but we found a great lot for $8. A short walk later down 1st Ave. and we were at the Field. Not really knowing where things were we walked the opposite way of the plaza.......but did get to see the light rail station :)



We met the Felton's and Andy at Gate 6 and walked around the main level for a while.
Then it was up to our seats, section 327, to check out the view!!!!!





The game began and we were excited to see the Twins play. It was a rough first inning when Detroit scored 4 runs :( Boo! We were still having fun though taking in all the sites and checking out the views from our seats...which were awesome! Anthony had a lot of fun looking and watching airplanes fly over!!!









Go Twins!!!!!!! Joe Mauer was up to bat and the place erupted with cheers and applause. It was amazing!!!




One thing I did love about the Metrodome was the Dome Dogs. They were SOOOOO good and yummy! So, I was a bit nervous about the new Big Dog at Target Field. The verdict...it is delicious!!!! I loved it and really enjoyed eating it, probably because I was outside and because I had a Summer Shandy! Can't get much better than that!
