Perfect Sunday!

Yesterday, Brian, me and the kids headed down to one of our favorite places ever, Gaston's, down @ the lake. Alot of our family on Brian's side was down there for the long weekend, so we headed down there for some wonderful food and hang out w/ great people. We took a walk and ended up down @ the frozen pond, made a peacock friend, played lots of cards, roasted hot dogs AND marshmallows, and generally had a GREAT time!!!

He made his way into the cabin...like he did the night before!

We enjoyed his company on the deck for quite a while

The kids loved that the geese were on TOP of the ice!

The kids (plus my hubby) were trying to see who could break the ice

Jolee was sooooo excited to roast a marshmallow

Just how she likes it!

Uncle Jim helped Brady with his first one ever!

Sooooooooooo good!

Out for another walk with our friend (at this point, he was named Pecka)

  1. What a great weekend get-away!... A lot of good memories for the kids. Toasting marshmallows in the fireplace, and a peacock in the house!... cool. Has your father ever told you about our swamp monster we had as kids? Speaking of peacocks. For a few summers in a row,in the dark of night, when it was quiet, we could hear this awful, screaming and screeching and howling across the sawdust pile. We had imagined all sorts of terrible creatures making those noises. But eventually it was discovered that some neighbors a few blocks over, had peacocks. But it was scary fun to imagine those monsters in the sawdust pile (ha) Yea... peacocks. Memories. Your kids will have a tom of 'em. How neat.
