Meet The Gunderson's

Hello,

Last Sunday night we had the privilege of having a BBQ dinner with our friends Chris and Aira. We usually try and do this a few times a year as Chris and I are both obsessed with spice rubs and marinades. Chris is an old college friend of mine who lives in Woodbury; just a little south of us. Also, like us, they have a new baby boy........named.........Max!!

This is the first time Max (ours) had a chance to play with someone his own age. I know they have no idea what they are doing; but it was really fun to watch. I think these two will be friends for many years to come.

Here are a few pictures from the night:

We had a really fun time and are looking forward to doing it again.

One Heck of a Golf Weekend

Greetings,

Last weekend I embarked on a long awaited journey to Breezy Point Minnesota. Last year my friend Steele and I talked about this "All Inclusive" golf trip that included everything. Sign me up!! Throughout the next year we were able to persuade 6 others to join us. It was going to be a great trip.

We departed Minneapolis around 8AM Friday morning and made the three hour trek (actually it was closer to 3 1/2 hours because Brandt got lost twice) up north. Golf that Friday was great, even though my game wasn't. We all had a good time. On to the evening.........

Please keep in mind that I told you this trip was "All Inclusive" and included everything. That being said, we enjoyed a few adult beverages that day/evening and that is when the real fun started.

The Scene of the Crime!!

After a rousing game of Texas Hold Em' a few of us were getting a few bumps from some up north townies. I am not sure if it was the goofy look on Marquardt's face or my Pink shirt that seemed to stir things up???? Long story short; my friend Steele pushed over a 60 year old, 350 pound guy that was bumping into us. That lead to two of my other friends getting kicked out and later ARRESTED!!

The two gentleman were cuffed, stuffed and booked into the local Breezy Point Jail for the night. At that point I look over at Steele's dad Rod and say "I'm too old for this stuff"!! In their defense; they did absolutely nothing wrong. The situation was overblown by the "Breezy Point Security Team" and the local police. Do they really need to send 8 squad cars to a bar for a little pushing match? I have witnessed much worse than this on Black Friday or that once a year wedding dress sale in NYC!!

The next day we got up and golfed while the jailbirds enjoyed a nice breakfast and shower in jail. They were released to make our afternoon tee-time; so thats good. We decided to take it a little easier that night.

The rest of the weekend was pretty uneventful except for:

1. Brandt playing some insane golf.

2. An older gentleman a few holes ahead of us having a heart attack and passing away (at least he went doing something he loved).

All in all; just another weekend away with the BOYS!! Good times were had by all (most of the time).

Take care,

Nathan
