I Wonder as I Wander…

My nephews and sister had a wonderful trip planned to go to the cities and take in a Vikings game—so we came along—just for fun. We started out by having a pre-Christmas party where we did a gift stealing game—it’s become one of our favorite things. You wrap up a bunch of ‘stuff’—some of it from the regifting closet—some good things—and some things you just plain want to get rid of. The first person opens a present, the second person can either steal that present or open another one. We had 10 people and did three rounds—so there was a lot of stealing (and laughter).

Saturday night we went to Basils for supper—they have really good food—we walked over there and it was a really nice evening—cool and crisp!

On Sunday, we went to the Vikings football game—it was the first time Bob & I had ever been—and we’ve always wanted to go. It was great fun. There ended up being 10 of us—Scott, Stacey, Dylan, Ross, Richard, Paul, Kevin, Carla, Bob and I. What made it even better was the Vikings won! Sandy and Al stayed and babysat for Parker. We rode the shuttle from the motel to the game, but decided to walk back—which took less time than how long we would have had to wait for the shuttle, even though it was a couple miles. It was cool and raining, but hey, we’re tough Vikings fans!!
