Twins Game with Dad

On July 3rd, my Dad and I got to go to our very first Twins game at the new stadium! It was AWESOME!! We walked around for hours just to see everything inside and out and it was the perfect day for a baseball game! We had awesome seats in the Legends Club as well, from doctor at work whom is a season ticket holder. Here are a few pictures from our day!

Loon Organics

We started picking up our crop share about a month ago and LOVE it!!! The veggies are amazing! So fresh and nutritious! Each box we get has a ton of veggies and a letter with the contents, how to store or freeze each item and great recipes that are easy to make. I really encourage everyone to looking into supporting a CSA farm (Community Supported Agriculture) because it is so worth it! What a great way to eat organic and support a local farm in your community! Here is our latest box we got today!

Boundary Waters 2010

So we took our first trip as a couple (and my first trip) to the beautiful Boundary Waters Canoe Area last week and it was so fun! We went with Adam's dad, sister and her boyfriend and it was a great time had by all! We took one day trip that looped into a few different lakes, did lots of fishing, cooking/eating, reading, swimming and laughing! Our campsite was on the edge of Lake Four and we started at Lake One. We had perfect weather up until our last day when we had to canoe back. Another highlight was getting Harley in the water (and canoe, which he didn't tip!) and seeing him swim. He started out pretty wimpy just swimming and clinging to us like a child, but the more brave he got, he started to swim out to fetch sticks over and over! The only parts I did not care for were the greasy hair from not being able to shower (gross!) and the swarm of mosquitos that hung out at our campsite every night and forced us to walk around with head nets on! Overall, the trip was beautiful, relaxing and a great break from our busy lives and we cannot wait to go back again next year!

Colorado

Last week, we returned from our five day trip to Colorado to see our awesome friends, Tony and Allyssa! They've lived out there ever since they finished college and plan to live in South America for a while, leaving next Winter and then returning to Minnesota! To say the least, they were awesome hosts and kept us busy while we enjoyed our time with them and exploring the beautiful state of Colorado! We ran a 5-k race the day we got there, visited the beautiful towns of Salida and Buena Vista, camped in the mountains, relaxed at the Cottonwood hot springs, did some shopping in Denver and rock climbed outside of Boulder. Here are some pictures of our adventure!

Four Become Six!!

Just incase you haven't heard, my dear friends, MJ & Brett, gave birth to their second set of twins (girls this time) on Saturday, June 5th! Their twin boys were born 14 months ago...what are the odds, right?! Here is their blog so you can check out some pictures of the beautiful family!

CSA-Crop Share

This year, we are doing a crop share through a program called Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). The farm we are going through is an organic farm located in Hutchinson, MN and they deliver to our area once a week. We are splitting out share with Amber and Austin, but I still think we will all get lots of tasty and healthy vegetables and herbs! I will post their website below! There is not better way to get healthier produce without the pesticides and chemicals used when they are shipped across the country and what better reason to support a local farmer!

Plants and Flowers

One of our recent projects around the house has been to plant our flowers, herbs and strawberry plants, finally, now that we have the time! I'm also trying to grow a hydrangea plant in a pot, so we'll see how that goes! I cannot wait until we have a bigger house some day on a good piece of land to do lots of landscaping and gardening!! Until then, this is what we are limited to.....
