Texas Motor Speedway | Verizon IndyCar Series Firestone 600

I attended my first IndyCar race at the Texas Motor Speedway.  I wasn't sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it.  As I was leaving, I recorded an audio file from my car in the parking lot.  The noise was incredible from that distance.  If I can figure out how to embed it into this post I'll update this blog.

New Twins Stadium

Kristi and I went to the new stadium to watch the Twins play Oakland.  The Twins won 2 to 0 and the attendance was 40,830 - the stadium lives up to the hype.  Photos here.

Weekend at Lake Boulder

We went to Boulder Lake for the weekend to see Nana & Papa.  We had a relaxing time and enjoyed being out on the water.  Photos here.

All School Reunion

We didn't take a lot of photos at the reunion but were fortunate to see several of our old classmates and many other old friends.  One of the highlights included a scramble golf tournament.  More photos here.

2010 Independence Day

We spent the afternoon/evening at Auntie Josie's house.  We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and had great seats for the fireworks show.  Photos here.

Sam's 1st Strongman Contest

Sam and I went to Sauk Rapids to attend the Rapids River Days.  The main event we were interested in was the Minnesota State Strongman Championship.  Sam's cousins Gabe and Jace were at the event and they all wrestled each other during the contest events.  Photos and video here.  Make sure you watch the video - the contestant is performing the log press and does a helicopter drop at the end.

Como Zoo

We took the kids to Como Zoo for the day.  Everyone had a blast.  Photos here.
