Ozzy Concert?????

Trica, Duane, Dave, and Chris were to attend the Ozzy Concert tonight. However the "old man" got sick.
We had prepaid for our hotel room so we decided to make the best of it and enjoy sometime downtown Minneapolis.
We thought the Vikings game would be a grand alternative until the Twin Cities got 17 inches of snow and the MetroDome roof collapsed. So on to the next idea.
It was a sunday night in a snowed in city so we didn't find much to do....

but a small comedy club in the cold basement of the Corner Bar!

Trimming the Christmas Tree

Duane went out to the woods special to bring home this snow and ice covered christmas tree.
Little did he know what it would look like once it thawed.
We decorated our "Charlie Brown Chrismas Tree" with love.

Welcome Home To Minnesota

We just left the 80 degree sunshine of Miami to come home to a Minnesota snow storm. The boys were thrilled.
