Visitors to Troy Burne

This weekend Nicole and I had some visitors from Springfield. Two of my best friends from high school and their wives/kids came to enjoy a day with us (well we hope they enjoyed it).
On Saturday Greg Weedmand, his wife Miranda, and their 2 kids Aubrey (3 yrs) and Gavin (almost 2 yrs), John and Amanda Jeske (newlyweds) came for the day/evening.
The boys were going to play golf and the girls were going to Stillwater to do some shopping and hit up the Teddy Bear Park for the kids. It ended up being a perfect day. The morning weather started out very foggy and turned into a steamy hot day, perfect for the festivities in the afternoon.
I setup a neighborhood golf tourney (men only unfortunately) for us on Saturday. Our team was Jeb, Jason, Greg and John. Those of you that know Greg you know he is a very good golfer. He has been as low as a 2 handicap over the last few years but this year has only played golf 3 times (see 2 kids above). My other friend John, it was his 1st round of the year. I was able to round up 11 players for our little tournament. We played a Skins game and a team game. I ended up winning 2 of 6 of the skins that went out that day, but our team ended up 3rd out of 3. We had a great time playing though.

After golf we went to our friends Brian and Shelly Thompson for a BBQ. They have a pool so the kids could swim while the adults did what they do best, eat and drink. It was nice getting to know John's wife more and she and Nicole have a lot in common. John and Amanda headed home Saturday night (they live in S. Mpls) and the Weedman's stayed over with us.

On Sunday we got up and made breakfast for them before they headed for the MN Zoo on their way home. Nicole and I then played golf and finished around 5:00 p.m. We then went to Stillwater for dinner, just the 2 of us. It was nice to relax after a busy weekend with a lot of people at our house including 2 kids. We barely made it until 9:00 p.m. last night before falling asleep.
