G'ma & G'ma Visit

G'ma Linda  G'pa Bob came to town for a long weekend to take in some AAU hoops.
Lots of time commuting between Wayzata, Bloomington and Shakopee between the eight games over three days, and lots of Chipotle, Starbucks fueling the journey... but, some good downtime catching up each evening (usually with a WNBA game on in the background, of course). 

(Sadly, just one photo taken this trip... S & G'pa walking Buster Bear).

NT Nike @ Summer Jam

S & team ran the table at Summer Jam, going 4-0 and dominating their in-state rival (MN Fury) by way of suffocating defense in a 20-point win on championship Sunday.

MN Stars @ Summer Jam

Evs' MN Stars team earned their way to the title game, but fell short by 15ish vs an excellent All-Iowa Attack team (Caitlin's alma mater).  

E shot it well all weekend, and had her best "post moves" of the year in this one!

E & Co take Fairmont

24-hour lake escape to kick-off summer for E, Harper and Annika.
Jam. Packed. Fun. Thanks, Nana & Greg!

Trout Lake

Year two of Trout Lake overnight camp (quickly becoming a summer all-time favorite for S). This year with Naomi, Ceci and Gracyn.

Ropes coursing, mountain biking, banana boating, night gaming, cabin bunking, song singing, oh my!

TEAMMATES?!?

For the first time in years, E & S teamed up on the same court in a JV Summer Series Breakdown jamboree... with Dear ol' Dad coaching. Meaningless games, mostly... but, what a priceless opportunity.

The girls swept the day and took home 1st, taking down forever-rivals Lakeville North on the way.

Father's Day

Brunch and hoops with the whole crew!

Date Night | Top Golf

Priceless time 1:1 with S...

Luce Line with Nana

It's the season of the happy hour...

Schooooool's out for SUM-MER

E celebrated at Harp's pool with her besties, S at our place with a slumber party with hers.

It's going to be a great summer. Oh to be a kid again! 

(These ceremonial photos are getting harder to get with kid #1)

MN Stars @ Summer Kickoff

E & company went 2-1 at the Summer Kickoff... but lost a key player and great teammate (Addie Iverson).

She'll be missed, but more opportunities for all. 

Here's to a strong finish! 

Summer Hours

The annual "summer kickoff" tradition continues.

Earl Giles for cocktails and Buch for kombucha and games...

Choir Girl

Not quite as emotive and showy as the pre-school version, but we still love her. ;-)
