Flat Tops with the MinnesOOOtans!!!

Ratz & Tsunamy posing for the camera

So. Here we go again.
The Minnesoootans came to town and we...
WENT S N O W M O B I L I N G!!!!
And, yes, skiing as well. :o)
Zach, Melanie, Justin & Benji

First they went without me to Red & White,
right away on Monday. :o(
Yep. I had to work.
At least they had another good girl (Mel) with them,
who was hopefully holding up the Cool Chicks Flag! :o)

But then on Tuesday...
MAN - OH - MAN!
We had such a great time!!!

Zach, Justin, Sarah-Tsunamy, Simone-Pierino (also Italian), Chris-Ratz and Benji-Big Brother Ratz had all of the Flat Tops pretty much to themselves. I don't remember seeing anybody else out there. Just some people in a private airplane flying super low on our heads, at a certain point. Nope. Sorry. Didn't make it to take a pic. It was just too cool to look at all the sledders in the Flat Tops' environment and this dude flying above their heads!
Lemme tell ya: It was suppper-duppper cool!!!

Our team taking a break with good MN's ham & jerkies!!!

Now... let's get to the PICTURES!

a pretty muddy ditch. Ouch!
Now he IS really stuck in a good way.

Simone trying Tsunamy's way of tipping her sled back on the skis
in order to get his jeep out of the ditch, but...

Benji & Chris decided otherwise...
(ck the below movie for some "real time" show)


Justin describes the procedure, Zach laughs, Benjie is disgusted, Simone from the jeep says, "tell me when he is going to go....." as Chris starts pulling
