Memorial Day 2010

So instead of a "kick off" to summer we did a "boat off" to summer instead. We got Billie Jean in the water and went cruising!

It was a beautiful Memorial Day. Jeannine, Jerry, Chloe and their dog Marley were fishing on the lake, and decided to stop by and say Hi!

Jeannine and Wayne actually went to Prom together in High School and now are both married and both live in Buffalo. Too funny!

Chloe and Marley cooling off.

After hanging out for awhile on the dock, we decided to take Billie Jean for a spin.

Jeannine got herself (and her belly) onto her raft and enjoyed some sun! We were drifting in, so we decided to pull her behind and head back out onto the lake.

That's her with her baby belly. She's 6 months pregnant and can pull off a bikini! You go girl!

Overall, it was a great day with great friends. That's it for May! Stay tuned for June!

First Game: Wednesday, 05/26/2010

This day was exciting cause we enjoyed one and a half games of Twins baseball. The Tuesday night game was rained out and they got through inning 5, but no one had scored, so they finished the game on Wednesday. We played the Yankees so that was even more exciting. Wayne and I got there a little early to walk around. It was a beautiful day.

Second Game: Friday, 05/28/2010

We played the Texas Rangers and won!

Third Game: Sunday, 5/30/2010

We played the Texas Rangers again and were planning to meet up with my friend, Anne and her husband, Brian at about 6:00 p.m. for the game as they were in town from Milwaukee, WI and it would be their first time to Target Field. That morning Wayne told me that we were leaving early to go on the field for batting practice. We had done this several times in the Metrodome, but this was our first for Target Field. We entered the stadium early and it was completely empty except for food vendors of course. We met up with Wayne's friend, Dustin, who works for the Twins and headed out onto the field. While down there we talked with Mauer, Span and Morneau. We were able to get a picture with Justin himself.

We were down on the field for the whole batting practice. They opened the doors to the stadium and it soon became flooded with kids asking the players for balls. The players soon started retreating to the locker room.

After our fun on the field we headed to meet up with my cousin, Nate, and a few of his friends. They were in town for the weekend.

After chatting with Nate, we finally met up with Anne & Brian and headed to our seats. It was sprinkling at the beginning of the game and afterwards, there was a rainbow. Then the sun started setting and I captured this picture:

Although we won the game, it ended with Span and Orlando colliding for a ball. Always scary. Overall the day was busy, but fulfilling as I got to enjoy practice, catch up with Nate and spend some quality time with Anne. It's also nice when the Husband's can participate in our great conversations.

Thanks everyone for a great day and week at Target Field!

Date taken: Saturday, May 22, 2010

Wedding date: June 10, 2010

The first two pictures were actually taken in their backyard. BEAUTIFUL. Just goes to show that you shouldn't count out locations. When April first told me she wanted to take some in their backyard I was hesitant, but whatever the client says goes, right? Once I got there and saw what she was talking about though, I was like cool, this works!

We then went to a few different locations along the river. As we were walking along the trail looking for different spots and angles we came up on a couple "doing it" behind a big tree that had fallen. They didn't hear or see us obviously as they were too busy, so we slowly turned around and left them in peace. So weird and definitely nothing I have ever experienced EVER!

Well, to close out this post, today is April and Kevin's wedding day. I thought it would be cool to do this engagement post on their wedding day. I am heading over to Marjorie McNeely Conservatory this afternoon to celebrate and photograph a very special day. Congratulations April & Kevin!

Stay tuned for a wedding post in the future!
