    Drinkin' Hat

    My cousin Josh performing this original song “Drinkin’ Hat” that his brother Gabe started and they “worked out” together. It even has a callout to our Grandpa and Grandma. Love it. 🎢

    League Cup: Necaxa v United

    Tonight’s League Cup game with Club Necaxa at Minnesota United FC was a wild time. It started with a hotly contested foul by Necaxa in the box that resulted in a United penalty kick giving them an early 1 - 0 lead. There were players surrounding the VAR scene as the ref was reviwing the call and Necaxa came out very chippy after the call. There was a lot of physicality on both sides and when Necaxa got a breakaway a foul on the Bacharach for the United sent them down a man with a red card πŸŸ₯ for the remaining 69 minutes of play!

    The man of the match was Dayne St. Clair who had a dozen saves in the second half and somehow with incredible pressure the United kept Necaxa scoreless and took the win.

    Truly an incredible night of soccer enjoyed with my friends Jim and Tom! ⚽️

    Walking Canoe Bay's Gardens

    The gardens at Canoe Bay were a highlight of our stay there. I tried to capture it a bit with this 7 minute video walk around the path.

    First time I’ve gotten a perfect in Strands!
