Sammy Fund Golf Tournament

Matt and I were able to get back to Quincy this year for the annual golf tournament after missing it for three years due to Morgan's soccer tournaments. It was fun to see everyone again! Matt took the train to Quincy Thursday night so he could golf on Friday with everyone. I drove down Friday after my parents got to DG to watch the girls. I made it into town around 5:00-ish. We went to Steve and Cathy's house on Friday night for a little party. On Saturday, Matt golfed again and I did a little shopping. I met up with him and we grabbed a few drinks at Karen and Jay's house. They were having a class reunion for Chuck's class this same weekend, so most of the people were at Jay's house for that. We went out for dinner Saturday night to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the games. Chuck and June had some class reunion stuff going on, so they weren't available. We started off Sunday morning at Chuck and June's house for Bloody Mary's, courtesy of Matt. Then, we went to the golf course for the tournament. The weather was gorgeous! While Matt was golfing, I did a little more shopping and relaxed at the hotel. I did meet up with the pizza delivery guy around 2:30 at the golf course to get that all set up. After the tournament, we hung out at the golf course for a bit and then went out to Chuck and June's house. They picked up Korean food from a new place by them, Seoul to Soul - very good food! Always such a fun weekend! I'm glad we were able to get back this year to enjoy it!

All of my pictures were from Sunday...

Sammy Fund weekend

We went down to Quincy again this year for the Sammy Fund Golf Tournament. We got to see Chuck and June's new house! June was gone the first few days at a wedding out of town, but flew back on Sunday morning just in time to see the golfers finish up the tournament. As always, it's a fun weekend hanging out with family and friends. Matt gets to golf a lot and I get to do a little shopping! :) And of course, the girls have a blast hanging out with Mama and Papa for the weekend!

No Bloody Mary bar at the house, so we went out to Thyme Square for breakfast and Bloody Mary's!

While everyone was golfing, I was on pizza pick-up duty - 15 pizzas!

Ross, his Dad, his brother and his brother's friend were on a team

June has a picture that Avery drew up on their fridge!

And here are some pics we got of the girls over the weekend...

Avery and Papa working on breaking open the geodes she got for her birthday. Papa is pretty brave to put his hand there!

Sandi and Brett came over and the kiddos all decorated cookies... well, most of them were decorating. Morgan may have been eating along the way! :)

Then, they all got McDonald's!

Grayson, Morgan and Avery bottle flipping on the deck with Milo just watching.

One day they got pizza and watched the new Addams Family movie.

Aunt Erin curled Avery's hair. She wanted to try out a Hermione Granger hairdo for her upcoming Halloween costume.

It worked! Her hair was super curly!

Apparently, while Erin was curling Avery's hair, these two goobers found a dead mouse on the side of the house. Yuck!

Living her best life... extra whipped cream for her pancakes! They ate out at the Harvest!

And of course, we Facetimed with the girls... :)

Getting ready for the Sammy Fund weekend

Matt and I went to hit golf balls this week to practice up for the last Sammy Fund weekend fundraiser coming up this weekend. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Sammy Weekend

It was another great jam-packed Sammy Fund weekend! : )

Matt and I drove down to Rochester last Thursday night to get a jump start on the weekend. We drove over to Quincy Friday morning. After a quick lunch with Chuck, June, etc., Matt went golfing and my Dad and I stopped off at his lawyer's office. We also swung by to visit my grandma.

Friday night, there was a party at a friend of Chuck's, so we met up with everyone over there. We filled bags with tees and ball markers and then had a few beers.

On Saturday morning, there was a run/walk through some beautiful streets in Quincy. The weather was gorgeous!

As is tradition, we headed over to Jed's Brewhouse for chili dogs and beer after the run. We sat outside in the beer garden... so nice!

Cheers!

Dan, Matt and Chuck

Saturday afternoon, we had a baby shower for Erik and Caroline. They'll be welcoming a little girl, Madeline Louise, in about 6 weeks! We played a few games and watched Caroline open some super cute gifts!

I think Erik is cheating at the game!

Frozen yogurt cake = yum!

After that, the guys headed off to a Texas Hold Em tournament. They all did pretty well and had a good time. We hung out at the bar at our hotel, Tony's Too, after that for the night. I may have had a few too many glasses of wine at the bar. I was just trying to catch up with the husband!

Boy, we look sober, eh?

Um, Matt get out of the picture!

That's better!

Jean and Mom

Sunday was the big golf tournament... this year's team was me, Matt, Ross and Erin. The weather was gorgeous! We finished 3 under. Luckily, we had Matt to keep us from coming in last place!

Sammy Fund tournament is about to start!

Folks, that's not really sweet tea!

We let Matt and Ross share a cart (so they could share their "sweet tea")

It was a long drive back home to Chicago Sunday night... especially with Matt passed out snoring in the passenger seat!

I loaded a few add'l pics to our Shutterfly site... you can check them out here.
