Sarah and Grandpa Gordon kill time at the hotel by watching the digital picture frame he and Grandma got for Christmas. Sarah just LOVES to watch pictures! When she wants to watch one of our home videos on TV, she points and says, "Show??"



We took the obligatory trip to Cabela's HUGE sporting goods/ outdoors store in Owatonna, where we saw lots of stuffed dead things on a fake mountain! Sarah also got to see the huge tanks filled with Minnesota game fish. Rich went nuts and spent most of his Christmas money on new hiking boots (about 60 percent off!) and GPS accessories.



Noah's Brooklyn Park Pirates team hoists their consolation champion- ship trophy! That's Noah in the back row, the second one from the left. The Pirates beat Faribault 4-3 to win their trophy, scoring four unanswered goals after trailing 3-0. Good job, PIRATES!
