The Letter F

The kids and I went up to my parent's the week after Memorial day. On Friday we went up to the lake while Grandpa went fishing. We decided since Grandpa was going fishing with his friends on a Friday, we could celebrate the letter "F" as well, so we ...
Played with a frisbee,


Grandma went fishing for the frisbee, which Porter threw in the lake,


Ate fishes.


We found a feather,


Flowers,


And a fern.


I guess Grandpa thought that fishing with his friends was not enough, so he added falling and fracturing his finger (really his thumb). Get better grandpa!!


Some extra pictures from the lake. We spent about 6 hours there.





Porter loved playing in the mud and water





We played baseball with a stick and pinecone

Simply Fondue

My birthday was Friday and Job and I went to a favorite, Simply Fondue. We had a groupon that had a four course dinner for two which included a bottle of wine. Since we do not drink, the bartender made us these drinks. We think it was some sort of strawberry kiwi thing. It was good and not too bubbly.








First course was salads. Mine was blue cheese, walnuts, croutons, tomatoes, cucumber with a vinagarrete dressing.


Job had a wedge salad with blue cheese, tomatoes and bacon. Both were delicious!!


Second course was cheese fondue which came with bread and veggies. Our cheese was cheddar with some kind of veggie or tomato broth, garlic, basil pesto and sun dried tomatoes. Scrumptious!!





Third course was our meat and veggies. We each got two pieces of coconut shrimp, bacon wrapped tenderloin, herb crusted mahi mahi and garlic chicken. There were six dipping sauces. We cooked it in a little oil and garlic. Super yummy!!











Finally was our chocolate fondue which was a peanut butter, milk chocolate with walnuts. The waitress lit the chocolate on fire and let us roast our marshmallows. I was not paying attention and burnt mine.


Job toasted his over my birthday candle. Look at all the yummy dipping treats; bananas, strawberries, rice krispies, brownie, cherry, pineapple, peanut butter balls and cheesecake pieces.


Burnt marshmallow.








We ended up so so so stuffed from all the wonderful, delicious food. We will definitely be going there again!! Thanks babe for a wonderful evening.

May Randomnesss

May was filled with lots of fun. It started off with lunch with friends, Cindy and Lucy!! Porter loves Lucy and talks about her constantly after we play. Good thing they only live an hour away.





Job took a couple of hours off work one afternoon and took us to a 66ers game. The kids loved it. Good thing we took a huge umbrella with us, it was toasty.


He was very excited!!

I got the kids free summer bowling passes and we went with for the first time with our neighbors. Porter really wanted his picture taken with the bowling sign.

While Job was at class the kids and I tried out a new park. They loved the sand pit and swings.











With the summer blooming, maybe more memories will be made at new places.
