This headline has to be one of the best I've ever seen!!

Random Home Pictures

A few random scenes from home from our visit in June/July. We brought home a ton of raspberry jam, but I had to leave the statue and tipi behind.

TZL's Birthday Party

It looks like it was a blast!! He loves cheetos and chocolate cake!!

Benson Reunion Concert

Boogie Wonderland packed the house out on the softball fields with tons of screaming Bensonites that were home for the All School Reunion.

Benson All School Reunion

Margarita Moline forgot to cash in her drinks from The King all weekend long. For a little while, it looked like some rough weather was going to take over the reunion festivities, but it only lasted a few hours. While throwing out candy to kids from our class float, I caught a glimpse of grandma in the back. Hey, seniors need candy too!!

Lonely Spider Man

Pool Party

The Johnson's had us over for a pool party today in the 1000 degree heat! Good times!

Only in SF!

Minnesota Thunderstorm

I woke up at 3AM this morning to this crazy loud, windy, and wet thunderstorm.

Tennis and Pizza Night

We all decided to just on our tricycles to go check out dad's sweet moves on the tennis court. Afterwards, we came home to some delicious Jimmy's pizza!!

A Portrait of Me

Eliza might have a future as an artist!

Nieces in Benson

We met Jenny's two girls for the first time today! The next day, we all went out for all you can ingest brunch at McKinney's. Get ready for the Blues Brothers!

Party in Benson

Benson is gearing up for the arrival of all the alums, so we decided to test out the waters with Jan at Duffy's and then the Danvers bar. We ended up crashing out at JP's place that evening, but it was great fun catching up with them.

Haircut in Benson

Rocket Rod's hairstylin' place hasn't changed a whole lot since I first started going there when I was about 10 years old. It's a great place to go and catch up on all the town gossip. Thankfully, his prices haven't changed much in 30 years either!

Mr. T and Flavorwave????

I might have to re-evaluate the hero status I have given to Mr. T after seeing this cheesy infomercial for the Flavorwave. Although, all the things the Flavorwave could do were AMAZING and he even threw in all his catchphrases during the show!

Lunch in Benson at Breen's

After landing in Benson, I just couldn't wait to hit up Breen's to get a Big Brave and Hardanger burger combo for lunch. Deeeelicious!

Breakfast in Benson

I had to introduce KL to the world famous Benson Bakery and it's equally famous peanut and cream covered white cake thingys. If the jukebox was still working, we would've jammed to some Mister Sandman!
