Severance Travels: Minnetonka - Pam & Steve's Wedding Anniversary

On Tuesday the 2nd we left the trailer at the CG and drove to Minnetonka, MN to visit Judy's sister Pam and husband Steve and family there.

The first night we were there, there was a thunderstorm. Judy and I slept in the bedroom in the basement in the back of the house and never heard a thing, but this is what occurred outside our window.

Anyway, Jessie, Phanie, and a friend came right over and by noon it was all cleaned up and out by the street for city to pickup.

It's now official that Judy and I take Mathias and Crawford to McDonalds when we are in town! We thought it was only when they had birthdays but I think it now becomes a 'tradition' whenever we are there!

It was their 50th anniversary on the 5th so they had a great celebration.

On Saturday 22 of us went to a Twins game. The weather started out drizzly but stopped after about an hour and it was really nice from then on. As you can see, our seats were along the 1st base side and looking out to right field. The view was great.

The first picture is when we got there - about 5:00.

This one was after the game started so you can see that there was a good crowd (around 27,000).

Ceremonies before the game included recognizing Tony Oliva and Jim Kaat as they had been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Tony gave an inspiring speech about his time in the league.

And, there were bobblehead dolls to be had!

This is all of us prior to the game.

Front row - Judy, Me, Steve, Pam, Crawford

Second/third row - Jenelle, Marcus Matt, Graden, Jesse, Alice, Ben, Molly, Zac, Mathias, Lauren, Phanie, and Violet.

On Sunday we went to church and then went out to dinner at a place called The Wok in the Park (so named because it is Chinese and it is located in St. Louis Park!).

Pam and Steve know the owners very well and they opened the restaurant for them so it was a private party. 29 relatives and friends were in attendance there!
