Glorious & Peaceful

Such beautiful landscaping at Peace Church on Nicols Road!

Non-traditional

Sloan Gasior rides motorbikes and draws attention with his "big hair" when he's not personal training at Lifetime Fitness. It was sunny on the fishing dock at Thomas Lake.

Caribbean-esque

Over 100 parents, kids and others gathered at Caponi Art Park for their weekly "Family Fun Tuesdays." A Twin Cities group, "The Maroons," played music inspired by Trinidad and Jamaica under the green canopy of huge oak trees. 

From the blanket

Sitting in the front row, the view of the "Choo Choo Bob Show" at last Wednesday's family night at Market Fest was terrific.

Wanna spin around town in this ol' gem of a car?

Red X 5

Dare Van Waes, Miss Minnesota Teen 2013, waved at the July 4th parade crowds.

Dan Sjolseth and part of his family greeted Eaganites and guests along the parade route. 

What parade would be complete without some big, red fire trucks?

He was clowning around along Yankee Doodle Road...

With 5 photos of RED vehicles, does it feel like a parade?

Marching bands, floats and much more joined in!

Just Justin

Cool cat Justin Schaible soaked up sun at Blackhawk Lake!

My wife's cousin's garden

What a lovely rose draped arch! Anne and I joke that her cousin lives here; he resembles her cousin anyway...

Car cleaning cash

Several Burnsville Blazette dance line members washed cars off Nicols Road on Saturday as a team fundraiser. 

His "cabin"

Toby's Lund fishing boat sees lots of bass chasing action! Free-time finds him often fishing.
