Red Bull Flugtag

I was 1 of 90,000 people along the banks of the Mississippi at the Red Bull Flugtag last Saturday. Red Bull estimated that there would only be 40,000 spectators at the Twin Cities first Red Bull Flugtag event located at Harriet Island in St. Paul. What in the hell is Flugtag you ask? Basically 37 teams were selected out of hundreds to build homemade flying machines and you take a leap off of a 3o foot flight launching deck into the Mississippi. It's not just about the distance of your flight but also the creativity of your craft. With the popularity of the event I can only assume that it will not be long before Flugtag returns.

Here is a link to all of my pictures.

MN Zoo

Since Aimee and I have a MN Zoo pass I figured I better get my moneys worth out of it. You can find all of my MN Zoo pictures in this flickr collection.

A bunch of wildflowers are blooming near our townhouse. I snapped a few pictures and I really liked this one.
