I knew from the time I left work on Monday to the time we had to leave for Minneapolis that afternoon was going to be close, but when I got home from work the car was literally in front of the house and was running!
It was a good thing that I had everything ready and all I had to do was to run into the bathroom and strip off the clothes I was wearing and then put the clothes that was sitting there on the chair on. Have you ever left the house and then did a ‘hand’ check to see if everything that you should be wearing you were wearing? Yea, it was one of those times! But I made it in less than 2 minutes from start to finish and we were off to Minneapolis for the night.
The funny part of this story is that we were talking to William on Saturday and he said that he couldn’t stay real long at the farm on Sunday afternoon for Father’s day because he had to drive to a hotel for a meeting for his work. We found out that he was also heading to Minneapolis. How funny is that? Then he said that a group of kids were all going to go to the baseball game that night. Pretty coincidental if you ask me. We also had tickets for that night’s ballgame. But we found out that they were on the opposite side of the stadium and we never did end up having a chance to talk to him. It was one of those times when a couple of texts went back and forth and that’s OK with me.
The night was perfect for a ball game and the Twins smoked the White Sox 13 to 2. Now even I thought it was a good game and paid attention. 
And how can you not just love the ‘Race’ they have every game? OK, maybe I wasn’t paying as much attention as I thought I was. 
After we made it back to the hotel guess what we did? Are you ready? We had packed up the soap that Kelcie made on Sunday and the plan was to cut it into smaller pieces. Now I bet you’ve probably have never done this before in your hotel room before have you? Honestly neither have I! And let me also say that you’ll never have a hotel room smell that good in your life!
If it looks like Kelcie made a lot of soap – – well that might just be true. I figured the total amount was around 9 1/2 lbs which is around 35 to 38 bars of soap. Yup, I think New York is going to be one sudsy state these upcoming weeks. It was a great test to see if she could do that many at a time and now that I know that it works I can see multiple batches in my future. And because she’s flying back home on Tuesday, our biggest trouble was to figure out how to get the most bars that she could into her bags.

Today’s picture of the day is that of the kids sitting at the ball game wearing their team jerseys. You’ll notice that the baseball jerseys are from a Twins game, but it’s the Korean Twins team. The team is called the LG Twins and they got them when they went to a baseball game in Korea. And if you’re wondering what Kelcie’s jersey says ? I’m pretty sure Kyle will have to translate it for us.
