This is the maze we went through in Shakopee! It was so big and pretty cool!

Hey, Grandpa Lee, how's he doing?

Twins vs Rangers

Jeff's mom and dad came down to stay with us over Labor Day weekend. We had a nice weekend with them. We decided to check on stubhub to see if we could get some tix for the Twins game. Well, we could, but the seats were way up there! After the game we walked down to the seats next to the field so they could see what it looked like from down there too!
Go Twins (Jeff was even able to supply his mom and dad with one of his jerseys!)

We love our Twinkies!

Yes, we were pretty high, but there is really no bad seat at the park.

The Deck is Finished!

The Before pic
The After Pic! It was A LOT of work, but we got the deck stained. We are happy with it. I hope we can enjoy some nice fall days out there before the snow starts flying! : ) Gus likes to go out the back door now (you can see his leash on the stairs)!

Our Trip to Seattle! Day 1

We flew in to Seattle LATE Wednesday night. Steph and Andrew picked us up and brought us to their house. It was so nice to see them and stay with them.
Thursday morning we hiked in Mt. Rainier park. The major hike we did was quite an uphill climb, but very fun!

Here was the first set of falls we saw.

One big tree!

This was what we hiked up to see... "Comet Falls" It was beautiful and huge.

This is the view that we usually had of Mt. Rainier with the clouds all around/over it.

Finally, the clouds cleared and we could see the top. This was taken at a place called Paradise. See me at the bottom of the pic.

Our Trip to Seattle! Day 2!

What a busy day! For breakfast we went to "Legendary Donuts" and boy were they yummy! I'm not sure that you can tell from the pic, but Jeff's donut had bacon on it. Yes, bacon!
Melissa on the top of the Space Needle! Cool view!

Jeff at the bottom of the Space Needle! Cool view!

For lunch we went to the Crab Pot. All I can say is "WOW!" We were each given a bib, a wooden hammer and a small fork to eat our sea food. Jeff is ready.

I'm ready too!

Mmmmm.... lunch (the lighting was weird)

All done! Our favorite was the crab legs.

I loved all the flowers at Pike Place market (they were all so reasonable and beautiful).


Here is the famous market in the city- Pike Place Market. They throw fish in the air as people order them and there are all kinds of things to buy (produce, flowers, crafts, etc.)


The Twins played the Mariners at Safeco Field on Friday night and we were excited to attend. By the way, it was Ichiro bobble head night.

Jeff and I supporting our Twins!

We had amazing seats (5 rows up). Denard Span at the plate.

Joe Mauer after a single.

Michael Cuddyer takes a swing.

Scott Baker was the pitcher.

Delmon Young in left field. The Twins won 6-3! We had a great time!

Our trip to Seattle! Day 3

Andrew, Steph, Melissa and Jeff with the Seattle skyline behind us! Thanks guys for all you did for us! We had a wonderful time.

Very early Sunday morning we made our way back to MN! It was cloudy, but beautiful.

Deck Project

Here is the latest project at the Rudebusch house!
The deck was finished on Tuesday! Now we just need to wait awhile before we stain it!


Progress!
