Maple Grove Pub Crawl

WOW! We've had a busy couple of weeks! Below are lots of new posts on our recent adventures!

Making Strides for Breast Cancer Walk

Last Saturday, I was fortunate enough to have several wonderful friends come out to enjoy the weather and support breast cancer awareness (also known as "hoofin' it for hooters" or "savin' the tatas") . We participated in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in honor of my mom. Love you all very much for helping such a special cause!!!


Emily, Amy, Ollie, Jason, Lily, Kelly, Andy and Gracie.

And, we're off...shortly after this photo, Jason strolled over a dead squirrel. Very nice.

At the finish line...Emily, Becky, Henry, Amy, Andy, Kelly, Lily, Nathan, Jason, Tara and Madeline. Miss Lily Jo trying out an apple.
Too sweet for words!
The adorable, sorry handsome, Henry. He entertained us all after the walk. We watched the Gopher game and loved every minute of it!

Becky and Madeline (and Amy!).
Lily giving Henry some love :) They would make a hot couple in about 17 years!

Thanks again you guys!

Lucas and Sarah's Wedding

Our good friends, Lucas and Sarah, got married on Oct. 4th. We were so bound and determined to get to the wedding that we were at the Denver airport around 7:30am, ready to head back to Minneapolis. Two weddings...two states...two days! Tough, but worth it!

Colorado

Andy and I went to Colorado for my friend Brad's wedding the first week in October. We went out early to enjoy the beautiful scenery and do some hiking, sight seeing, exploring, etc. Here are some pics from the week (seperate post from the Wedding to follow).

Andy surprised me with a stay at a beautiful bed and breakfast in Manitou Springs. Here's Andy relaxing in the suite where Teddy Roosevelt used to stay (no joke!). The bathroom and deck, which you can't really see, had spectacular views of Pikes Peak.

Romance...surprised with flowers, chocolates and a massage!
The incredible and orante fireplace.
View from the Cog railway heading up to the top of Pikes Peak.
Andy, quite literally, on top of the world.At the summit. It was freezing!

RBC Golf Tourney

My department had a golf tournament this past week. Thanks to a co-worker, who has a 6 handicap, our team won. Here's just a glimpse at his skills...this was his drive!!!
