Summer Outing

My coworkers and I went on a "summer" outing (even though it is October). Here are the photos! It brought me right back to my childhood!

The outdoor fireplace

Unfortunately, the home team still lost, but the view was great!

Baseball Game

We went to a good ole mid-western baseball game one night while we were in Iowa. The whole family was there to celebrate so we got a box at the local ballpark. I liked the ribs.

Amy, our sister-in-law, discovered the Taco-in-a-bag....delicious and simple. I still can't believe neither of us had ever had one.

Good food, good family, good times!

Labor Day in Iowa

We went to Iowa for Labor Day to celebrate Chris' parents 50th wedding anniversary.
That's right- 50 years! It was really fun....

The house is starting to look like a house!

The house is really coming along. Here it is from the front. The areas that are still grey will be where the brick work will be.

We have a front door!
