Greater Grand Forks

It was great to be back in ND for the weekend! Cory gave a nice seminar for the UND Department of Atmospheric Sciences and then we stayed for a few extra days to take in a few hockey games at the "new" Engelstad Arena. What an amazing place! The Sioux split, but it was fun to be there and see them on their home ice. Here are some pictures of our Alma Mater.

Campus looked really nice, especially around the English Coulee. No snow...yet!


This "tube" was new since we were there. It goes over University between some dorms. There were several other new tubes around campus as well. I bet they are very nice when it is 40-below!
The "new" Engelstad Arena.
For the Friday night game our seats were in the very last row. Good thing there are no bad seats in the place!
For Saturday night's game we were 3 rows up behind one of the goals. It was fun to see the game from two very different vantage points.
Our friends Cory and Krista's son, Caleb, was lucky enough to get his jersey signed by all the Sioux players on Friday night and was very happy to be wearing it on Saturday!
We had a great time and hope it won't be another 10 years before we get back up there. And next time we need to bring K. I am sure she will want to see the campus she will be heading up to in a few years!

Trick-or-Treat?

Have you ever gone trick-or-treating with 19 kids in a group...now that is a scary Halloween night! They all had fun, though, and came home with a TON of candy - success!
