After loading up our cars and heading towards the Dells, we were more than anxious to get there. Upon arrival, some members had already arrived and staked out their space for their tent to be set up... some already had a beer cracked enjoying the sunshine and to kick off the weekend! As we got the main canopy set up and all of our supplies unloaded, it was time to get to our own tents... but wait! Some super nice guys have already started on mine! I guess it pays to be "the boss"! Haha As more and more people arrived, we helped them find their perfect place to set up a tent, then assisted in set up as needed. After the chatter and laughing began to rise, it was time to head up to the restaurant for some fish fry! As we sat on the patio eating dinner, we looked down the table at our fellow E&A-er's that were all ready for a fun weekend! When we got back to the campsite, the bonfire was already burning and people were already gathered around, pulling up their camping chairs, grabbing their coolers... and I thought it was a perfect time to whip out the smores: Marshmallows, chocolate bars, graham crackers, rolos, fudge stripe cookies, oreos, etc... have you ever stuck a rolo inside a marshmallow before you roast it? The best thing ever! And as the night lingered on, so did the campers... laughing, playing cards, beer pong, stories around the fire and more... as everyone started to awake the next morning, we started breakfast and got on with our day of hiking and a jetboat tour. That night, we all returned from our activities and gathered for dinner. More bonfire and laughing followed and continued until the wee hours of the morning. Another hearty breakfast on Sunday, followed by the Riverwalk and Ziplining... and wow!! Was that fun! Another check off the bucketlist for me! As we returned to our final dinner of the weekend, some were already dreading having to leave the next morning... I know I was!! But as we packed up that Monday morning and we said our goodbyes and gave hugs all around... we were left to our thoughts of what a great weekend we had as we drove home... but not to worry! Labor Day weekend is only a couple months away and we will see everyone again! Events And Adventures Minneapolis
Another New Member Ice Breaker in the books! We had a great turnout of New Members and the chatter and conversations kept going on the way through our 3 games of cosmic bowling. There were some nerves in the beginning, you know, meeting new people or walking into a big group for the first time? But remember, everyone is in the same boat as you… I love to see the nerves subside as the night progresses and they get introduced to more people, ate some pizza, shared some laughter, and after awhile, it’s like you walked into a group of old friends! After your first couple events, you aren’t “new” anymore, and then the rest is history… you’ve made some lifelong relationships! Welcome to E&A!
What I love about this club is the age range of members and the fun that we all have together. But sometimes it's fun to split up the age groups for a night out! So once a month, we take the opportunity to offer two different events for our members, and they have the choice to pick which one they want to go to. Whether it be the "under 35" event or the "over 35" event, they are never too far away from each other to hop back and forth. Each person in this club is looking for something... a friendship, a relationship, a group to belong to, a hobby to figure out,,, and each event gets them closer to finding whatever it is they are searching for! You never know who you will meet at your next event...

A hike in the snow! Well... what else are we supposed to do with this Minnesota snow that never quits? Let's make the best of it! We hiked and climbed and laughed along the way... maybe threw a snowball or two... even if we did have to bundle up a little for the weather, that didn't stop us from coming out of hibernation for this beautiful winter day to be OUTSIDE! They are sometimes few opportunities for this, so let's take advantage of it... in the same way, use the opportunity of being an E&A member to its fullest! Get out there, meet new people, talk to someone new at every event you attend... as I've said before, I meet someone new at EVERY event I attend, so you will too! Events And Adventures Minneapolis
