Local Iron Chef @ 8 Seasons Grille

Joshua competed against 8 Seasons chef in a three course meal. Appetizer, Salad, Dessert. Both chef's dishes were incredibly delicious but obviously Joshua's tasted better! Are we even surprised that the audience voted Joshua the better competitor by a landslide?

Before the crowd arrives, he's all pumped up!

Packer Game

My dad went on a lottery draw and was chosen to purchase Wild Card home tickets against the Vikings. Me, Joshua, Linda and Andrew decided to buy the tickets off my dad after he wanted to sell them. We've never experienced a playoff game. It was a bit chilly but a ton of fun! Our seats were in the end zone basically right in the middle of the goal posts.
