we had a fun family adventure last weekend.
the weather had finally cooled off a bit, enough to leave the windows open for a few days (thank you
Lord!), and i had never been so excited about clouds before! we woke up on saturday, had a nice
pancake breakfast with strawberries and whipped cream (jake makes the BEST pancakes), and
decided to go for a walk. there is an old railroad nearby that used to run from where we live in PA
all the way down to Baltimore. its been out of service since the 50's but has a little gravel path next
to it that is great for bikers and runners. i am ashamed to say that this was my first time actually
walking along it!
we walked for a little ways then stumbled upon a tavern. on a whim, i said we should eat lunch there,
so we did. we had the BEST creamy crab soup, a delicious chicken quesadilla,
and Eden's grilled cheese was pretty darn good as well.
it was a beautiful day.
and we got some cute family pics too :)
we spent a week in michigan for the 4th of july. it was so
relaxing
peaceful
refreshing
and i was so spoiled. i did not make dinner the entire time i was there.
i may have washed, like, 6 dishes.
and there was always someone to babysit :)
(love my family!)
jake and i had a few great dates down at Lake Michigan.
one morning we went to the lake and just took some pictures.
jake skipped stones.
i sat on the beach.
then we got hot chocolate (jake) and a chai latte (me) and some
really unhealthy pastries.
it was beautiful.
it was pretty hot back home while we were away, and it got hot in MI too,
but we swam in the lake almost every day.
i can't even describe the color of Glen Lake.
think Carribbean blue
white sandy beach
cold, but refreshing water.
it was glorious.
