Valley Fair 2023

We made it to Valley Fair earlier this month for a fun kick-off to summer! We were wearing flip-flops because we knew we'd be getting wet. It was a really hot day.



V and I went on this very tall swing ride, which was scarier than I expected!


Omri conquered his fears by going on the infamous Corkscrew for the first time.


From the Ferris Wheel:


Not pictured, but R and I tried Steel Venom. I'm not even sure how to describe it (part rollercoaster, part free-fall?). It was wild!

Taylor Swift show

Taylor Swift was without a doubt the hot ticket in the Twin Cities this weekend. "Concert of the century," people were saying. I would have loved to have been there myself, but I had to settle for dropping off and picking up the ladies at the stadium. They got some last-minute tickets during a few intense minutes after work on Friday and ended up with decent seats.... but who am I kidding, there wasn't much sitting involved during the 3+ hour performance.


Really glad V got to experience a memorable first stadium show.

Argentina meets Minnesota

My brother-in-law's Argentinian parents are here in Minnesota for the month of June. We all met up at Linda's place on the lake.

A Tale of Two Jacks

In the middle of Veronica's six-show run of Frozen Jr., she played one of the title characters in her school play, A Tale of Two Jacks. There were a lot of lines to memorize in this! And she did great.

Frozen Jr.

I can't even tell you how exciting it was to see Veronica perform as Hans in Ashland Production's Frozen Jr. musical. I saw the show three times and was really impressed with the scale of the production and V's talent as a singer/actor. There was just a lot of great energy all around. Thanks to everybody who came out to watch!

"Love is an Open Door" was her big singing/dancing duet with the character of Anna:



She had a commanding presence on the stage after her character takes an evil turn:
