Thanksgiving dinner at Mark and Robyn's cabin

Randy had Thanksgiving at the cabin before he came back to Belgium. I guess there was a pretty good snowstorm on his drive back to the Twin Cities that made it hard to drive

 Mark and Robyn's Dunvilla Vineyards is really coming along. Can't wait to taste some wine! Another year or two I guess.

July 3rd at the cabin

We spent the 3rd of July at Mark and Robyn's cabin with the all the family's. Was a perfect day at the lake.



Twins game against the Dodgers

Me and TC Bear!

We went to the Twins game with Mark and Robyn. Randy's friend Cal provided us with tickets from his bank that were very close to the field, about 20 rows behind the catcher. Thank you Cal! I could take some good pictures of my friend Joe Mauer. The Twins lost 15-0, so there was not very much to cheer about.

Randy calls them stadium steaks

Dunvilla Vineyards

Mark and Robyn started a vineyard this year on Mark's grandpa's old farm near their cabin. It's in a little village called Dunvilla, so it's called Dunvilla Vineyards or Winery, not sure on that one. They think it will take about three years to get the first wine.

This was on the motorway leading to the vineyard so of course Randy made me get out and take a picture while cars were honking as they passed.

Fourth of July

We had a great 4th of July weekend, I don't often get to celebrate these. Nobody does it up like Americans, I just love it.

Rick and Mary had a great pool party at their home up in Rogers and it was a beautiful day and evening, with fireworks going off everywhere.

LOTS MORE PICTURES

For the weekend we went to Detroit Lakes to see the new grandson.......oh, and Tracy and Matt too. We also spent some time at Mark and Robyn's cabin nearby, which as you can see by the pictures, isn't really a cabin at all.

Lots of fun and sun, we didn't want to come back.

Little Ayden did not like the water!!!!
