Ryan trying the water slide out.. he needs help I think!
This was in the Omaha airport before our flight.. we had to have a pre-flight drink!
Ryan and I as well as the Boerbooms and Bednareks took off on Friday morning, the 16th to head to Arizona for our annual Awards Banquet for US Bank. We stayed at the Fairmont Princess Resort in Scottsdale.. It was beautiful.. Friday night we were able to spend sometime wih the Boerboom's relative and had a great meal.. (Thank you) After the meal, we drove back to Don and Cilla's condo.. wow what a nice place.. (Thanks Don and Cilla). On Saturday morning we had tee times at the Starfire Golf Course and golfed 18 holes.. It was a very nice course and a lot of fun! (I golfed a 53 and a 61.. which isn't bad considering July was probably the last time I got to golf) After golf we headed to our resort to meet up with the rest of the US Bank family and dealers. Saturday night was a welcome reception.. I stayed out too late that night.. Sunday was a complete free day.. I stayed by the pool the entire day.. No tan lines what so ever.. I was bummed. Monday and Tuesday I had meetings all day; however Ryan was able to have a lot of free time. Monday was a little shopping and then hanging by the pool..and then dinner and drinks that night. Tuesday Ryan met up with Patrick Brown (Daynica Drake's husband) and went golfing with Patrick's friend and two of Ryan's friends.. they certainly had a great time! We had our awards banquet on Tuesday night and more dinner and drinks as well. It was an early Wednesday morning, getting up at 4:45.. We arrived in Marshall around 4:30 that afternoon and it was a lot of fun to see the girls after 5 days.
(Thanks to my Mom, Jodi, Shawna, Darice, David and Diane for helping with the girls while we were gone as well as the house.. we are lucky to have such awesome people in our lives)
I forgot to mention that the weather was 79-80 all 5 days that we were there.. so it was REALLY hard to come back to Minnesota.. It is -8 today.. UGH..

I hear you on the weather. We were also in 80 degree weather on our cruise and when we got back it was 0 degrees. Glad to hear you had fun... nice pics that you got.

Hey Tif.. I didn't realize your cruise was now.. So was that your sister's wedding or your brothers? Fun.. Can't wait to see photos!

Hey Kristen.. Thanks.. I bet you Miss Vegas.. I still remember when Becky, Shawna, Alissa and Jolene and I went to Vegas.. I think Becky stopped to say hi and you thought it was cold.. It would be a heat wave for you now...
