Hello all,
Oh goodness, all of this feedback has been marvelous!! I am just shocked!
Yesterday, was our first trip to the lake. My granny lives on a small lake about a half hour from our home. My cousins Ian, Erika, Emma, Elijah, and Zeke met us there. And my good friend Morgan came along as well. I brought some Lasagna, Breadsticks, and a Salad for dinner. Sadly, did not get a picture of any of it=/ But I hope you all don't mind looking at a few pictures from the day!!
First tubing of the year. From left to right, Ian, myself, and Morgan.
This is my cousin Elijah!
Zeke thinks he's Gilligan!! haha.
Our boat stalled in the middle of the lake, and this kind sir pulled us into shore.
Ian took the little boys home, and we had a game of Croquet!
I was a bit behind...
...but I caught up!
Morgan and I just chilling. We both decided that neither of us would fit in the Red Rocket. Haha.
So after the game of Croquet, we watched To Kill a Mocking Bird and had some ice cream.
What a fun day.
On to the food!
Today, I made some Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins.
Mix the batter together, and fill some muffin tins half way full. Put about a teaspoon of Jam on top, and then place some more batter on top so that the muffin cups are about three-fourths of the way full.
We had a pretty simple dinner tonight. Just grilled some Hamburgers and Bratwurst.
For a side dish, I put together my own Black Bean salad.
Black Beans, Garbanzo Beans, Diced Tomatoes with Green Chillies, and then just guessed at the rest.
Well, tonight we are off to catch the midnight showing of Toy Story 3!!
