(3) Home(s)

Today, Dustin and I traveled back to Watertown for some hunting. Dustin recently won a gun so we went back to get that and then did some hunting later in the day. We had a great time, despite seeing any birds. It was my first time getting a hunting license(!), so it was pretty awesome!

I am thankful that we are able to travel back and forth between our home and our parents' homes. With the travelling, I am also thankful that we are able to have a safe place to go when we are needing some time away from the chilly wind and cold. 

Also want to add that I am thankful for guns. Honestly, its nice to have something to keep us safe here in our apartment and out there in the crazy world.

I didn't get any pictures of us with our hunting gear or walking, but it was nice to spend time with my hubby doing something he really likes. <3

August 11th: Happy Birthday Dustin!

On August 11th , my wonderful husband turned 25 years old. For his birthday Dustin decided he wanted to go to Valleyfair. We left around 7:15am on Saturday morning to make it to Valleyfair around 11:30am. Also that day the Minnesota Twins were playing a game that night at 6:10 pm. 

My grandparents, my brother Cody, my sister and her boyfriend, and my aunt and uncle and their 2 girls, Abby and Annie, all were going to the game!  We had plans to meet up with them at the game after we were done with Valleyfair.

Once Dustin and I were in line for the first ride, the High Roller, we thought we were going to have to call my family to let them know that we wouldn't be able to make it to the game because we stood in line for a long time, on the very first ride! We thought all of the lines were going to be outrageous with waiting in line, so we didn't think we were going to make it to the Twins game that night. We were able to make all of the rides we wanted to go on and make it to the game on time. We luckily always got in line right before everyone decided to get in line for the rides, so that made it easier to try all of the rides we wanted!

On the Wild Thing, Dusty's favorite, they take your picture, so we kissed each other while the camera took it.

The rides we went on were: High Roller, Excalibur, Corkscrew, Power Tower, Steel Venom (TWICE!), Wild Thing, and Renegade (sooo fast!). 

We headed to the baseball game at about 4:30pm. It took us about 30 minutes to get to Target Field. The Twins lost but we had a great time with our family! After the game we headed back home and got in to town around 2am. It was a long day, but so much fun!

Dustin and I had so much fun and I am so glad we have this wonderful memory with each other. I also can't wait to be able to take our children there and have them experience all of the fun at Valleyfair!!

August 4th and 5th: Baseball Weekend

      

The weekend of August 4th and 5th, Dustin and I headed to my brothers baseball tournament.
Cody was selected as one of the 13 year old all star players to play in this tournament. My dad and step mother were there as well as my grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins. 

On our way to the games we saw a bunch of motorcycles headed
to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
We were wanting to head there too.

The teams first game was on Friday night, but Dustin and I were unable to make it to that game as it wasn't able to work with our work schedules. So we got up early on Saturday and headed out to watch Cody play. Cody played on Saturday at 10:30 and 3:30 and won both of those games! It was great to be able to see him play. Cody played catcher most of the game! 

The first game the Rapid City Blue won 10-6 (if I remember correctly). And the second game at 3:30 they won 7-4. So with both wins they were headed to play on Sunday morning to see who the champion would be! That game was at 9:00am, so Dustin and I drove about an hour to my grandparents house and stayed there on Saturday night.

 I always love staying at my grandparents farm. It is always so nice to stay with them since we don't get to see them to often. My aunt and uncle and their 2 girls, Abby and Annie, stayed there as well. My dad also came back to the farm to stay and cooked some steak.

Sweet Abby. 

So on Sunday morning we headed out at 8am and made it to the first game. This game would either put them at playing at 1:00 or 5:00 for the championship. The Rapid City Blue ended up playing at 1:00 for the 3rd/4th place games. Cody's team got 4th place, but also received a sportsmanship award! I thought that was really cool!

It was a great weekend and I am so glad that we got to see Cody play baseball but also that we were able to see some of our family too.  Dustin and I always have a blast hanging out with our family, so we didn't expect anything less this weekend!
