Lots of fun at Emily and Bill's beautiful home in Fargo! Thanks so much for hosting us!

We had a blast in Fargo, ND!!

Catherine and I took Ashlee to see the NDSU campus and equestrian facility! We went all over in the ND cold and rain, visiting their Memorial Union Hall and bookstore to get matching NDSU sweatshirts and see the dining area and common areas for kids to hang out! Then we snuck into a dorm (CHurchill) to show Ash what "dorm life" was like, only to be met with an very old moldy smell and urine stink...Ash was bummed! Later when we went to stay at Mike's aunt and uncle Roger and Mary's, they said that was horrible old dorm and it was horrible when they were in college! I guess Bob, Tom and John (Mike's dad and brothers) all stayed there! It's a boys dorm and they put the fottball players there! They have new nice high rise dorms and new dining halls, so we just went to the wrong one! We walked all over, it is a really pretty campus!

We then hung out at the Hoffmann's and went to Old chicago for dinner and had delish pizza and visited with Roger and Mary's daughter Emily and her husband Bill and their son who is 4, little Bill!! We ran into Tom's other brother there and his wife, Dick and Janie on coincidence, so we all went to Emily's home afterwards, and had lemon tea and cheesecake and saw their new home and what they done to give it a face lift and their future plans. It was really nice!! We then went back to Roger and Mary's house, Mary hot tubbbed while we watched SNL!! It was a great evening! We also got Mary's recipe and instructions for making her homemade salsa, which I think we ate a whole jar and had on our eggs in the morning!! It was delicious, so she loaded us up with supplies before we left!! Here are some pics and video!! On is of the NDSU equine facility and the other is at Mike's cousin Emily and Bill's house where they have a disco ball installed in the living room and their little boy likes to dance with it on!! Bill also informed me he has 4 black lights and a strobe light!! Can you tell he is a former DJ??
