Kathie's Weekend

After months of planning, Kathie was able to join a group of 30 or more of her Alpha Phi friends for a reunion at Fillenworth Resort on Lake Okiboji. (Meanwhile, Tighe and I guarded the cabin.) Here they all are, dressed for the Iowa-North Dakota State football game they were about to watch on TV. That part, alas, didn't turn out so well. Nevertheless, I understand they really enjoyed their time together with lots of visiting and catching up with each other while having nice dinners and cruising on the lake.


After that event, Kathie met up with Travis and his long-time high school pal, Kyle in Minneapolis. They had all made plans quite awhile ago to attend the very first regular season Vikings vs. Packers football game in the new US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. I guess the stadium is pretty spectacular.


Travis, a long-time Vikings fan, was excited to be there. His hopes for a good Vikings season had been set back when Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was injured for the season. However, the team traded with the Eagles for Sam Bradford, who did a spectacular job in guiding the Vikings to a convincing win. Even though Kathie and I have become Packers fans, now that we have the Wisconsin connection, I was really happy for Travis to have this fun experience. This selfie that Kathie took suggests that all three had a great time.
