Joe Mauer - homerun hottie



Just in case you missed the Twin's game on Saturday, I thought I would post Joe Mauer's IN THE PARK homerun!!! WOWZA - that almost never happens!! I just stood up to run to the bathroom when I heard the bat crack. I stopped in my tracks and turned around to see the ball going, going, going...nope not gone but Joe was!!! The crowd went nuts - high fives all around. The picture from LAA wouldn't even pitch to the next batter until Joe Mauer waved his had to the crowd. Everyone was one their feet. Way to go Joe!

We had a wonderful weekend in the cites this past weekend. I am so fortunate to have an amazing family. I didn't get to see everyone, but it wasn't because I didn't want to or I don't miss them terribly. It's just that my aunt JoEllen is a better cook. HA - I'm just kidding.

My girlfriend Steph with Alex before the game. We drove downtown early to spend some time at the park drinking the Metrodome's (aka - giant marshmallow or giant toilet bowl) finest $6.50 glasses of tap beer


Go Twin's!!!
We had brunch with uncle Terry on Sunday at Al Baker's in Eagan before the musical. It was so nice to see him and meet the newest member of the family - Finnegan the shizapoo. Sorry, but no pictures of Finnegan, Terry or the play since I forgot batteries for my camera. High School Musical was wonderful though. We had excellent seats and Alex got to get up and dance with the cast and snatch a balloon that "Troy Bolton" threw into the audience. I can't believe the marketing and memorabilia that goes along with these plays now! Action figures, board games, sweat bands and uno cards. Yes, I'm guilty of buying the Uno card game for Alex but oh well.
