A snowy skate date we went on while in college. We spent the entire time just chasing each other around the ice and trying not to fall on our asses!

Babies! Photo before our first date back in 2016! We went to an Italian place called Kafe421 in Dinkytown which unfortunately has closed since then!

A cute winter date to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden in 2017 🍒

Nick took Kaia on a fancy date at a restaurant in Hawaii that looked over all of Waikiki! Kaia felt very special to be with such a thoughtful guy.

We always found time to spend with each other on our training trips to Hawaii even though swimming in different groups often meant we trained at different times. This photo was at our team luau!

Kaia's first camping trip to Door County with the Plachinski's! A beautiful family tradition in a beautiful place!
