Baseball, Swimming, Golf, & Trip

Avery, Payton, & Claire are wonderful cheerleaders for the Tire's Plus Team. Notice the cute antenae headbands & butterflies Payton & Claire created at MSU's Preschool. Claire is so proud she doesn't cry when dropped off at Preschool! We are proud of you too!

The game's over & Tire's Plus is still undefeated! Way to go guys!

Mom, Dad, Sherry, & I headed to Rochester for check-ups for Mom & Sherry. On the way, we stopped in Mayville to visit Dad's sisters Margaret, Alice, & Dorothy. Lunch at Paula's Restaurant is always the best!

A stop in Minneapolis always includes dinner at Red Lobster with Chad & Mark.

I sure do miss you Chad! You always make me smile!

The Dairy Queen was frequented by this crew following each meal. We weren't all smiles after stepping on the scale later!

Chad promotes his band's upcoming show at the Turf Club. We're "High on Stress" fans!

Lunch at Davanni's is pretty regular also.

Us "girls" are too!

Couldn't resist taking a photo of Minnesota's State Capitol.

Mom & Dad remember gas pumps like this one.

"Two chocolate malts please."

Dad remembers driving a tank like this in Korea.

Walking WAY back to the spot Mark parked his car! His vehicle does not like company.

Mark forgot his oranges in Minneapolis, so we had to make a trip to a grocery store in Rochester.

We took in the movie "Hangover." It was good for plenty of laughs!

Another restaurant favorite is Outback. Chad was able to squeeze us in between work & band practice.

The Lee Kids!

It was a great trip! Sherry's & Mom's appointments went well!

What A Busy Week!

Mom baked her famous sugar cookies to bring to Chad in Mpls. (a stop on the way to Mayo)

They turned out great, as usual.

Mom is always ready to get her hands dirty pulling weeds, etc...

The garden is looking good already!

Dad's checking out the tomato plants, and notices a few blossoms.

The deck's looking good for summer gatherings. Hope warm weather arrives soon!
