Nyger Morgan- aka Tony Plush makes his way across the field

Brett's favorite player- Corey Hart

We had a great weekend trip with our friends Ben and Rachel and their daughter Teagan. We had a trip to the Mall of America, lots of time in the pool, and a baseball game complete with a nice 12 block run in the rain back to our car!! We even had to change in the parking garage into dry clothes for the drive home! These will be fun memories to share!! Course we went to the one game in the series that the Brewers lost...but it was close (15 innings in all!)
