Our amazing parents

This picture doesn’t accurately represent just how big an entourage we had in Minnesota. We had more fans than wrestlers join us on the long journey to Minnesota (I believe the final number was 26!) and it looked like they had just as rewarding a trip as we did. Besides watching the great wrestling and […]

Snow fight at 15 below zero

Some of the foolish fun we had in Rochester, MN. While we were waiting for our shuttle on Saturday night, the boys decided to amuse themselves with a snowball fight. Unfortunately, it was too cold to make snowballs so they just threw snow…and yes, it was really 15 below zero!

The Day Before The Clash

We spent the morning at the Rochester Athletic Club, definitely the nicest sports facility we’ve ever visited. 220,000 square feet under roof, the RAC features an indoor pool, basketball courts, racquetball courts, tennis courts, an incredible weight room – and those are just the highlights. And of course, with this great workout facility at their […]

Rochester, MN

We’re back. People here are still very, very nice and still look at us as if we’re crazy to leave Hawaii (80 degrees) and come to Rochester (6 degrees, but warming) in the winter. Our flight over was uneventful and it was nice to see some familiar faces waiting for us at the airport. Chuck […]
