Bike & Build at the Berg Farm

We spent an interesting evening at the Berg's meeting 30 cyclists who are part of a Bike & Build team. (The Berg's son Isaiah is part of the team.) They are spending 2 months biking from coast to coast, spending one day a week on building projects, and also raising awareness for their organization. People notice 30 cyclists! They are traveling along Hwy. 2 across North Dakota, and on this day they reached Devils Lake. They were able to spend the night at the Berg farm. Many of them had never seen a farm before or experienced much of rural life, so the Berg's gave them tractor and horseback rides to show them some of the fun of living in the country!

Here they are--pictures of the "wedding of the year!" It was a blast! Thanks, Lisa and Aaron, for asking me to be a part of your big day. You guys are not hard to make look good. The photos below pretty much tell their own story--no captions needed!






















She looks great-even without makeup!


when the lights went out...what else can go wrong?
