Memorial Day Activities

On Memorial Day we decided to go to nearby Rice Lake state park and have a picnic lunch. It was a little spur of the moment, but we managed to remember everything (except a hat for Elizabeth.) It was a little windy, and the matches I grabbed were very reluctant to light, but we managed to get a camp fire going and roasted hot dogs for lunch. Martin had so much fun. I don't think he stopped jumping up and down the whole time we were there. Elizabeth was also well behaved and slept almost the whole time.
For supper we grilled some T-bones that we had in the freezer. I am convinced that, if given the opportunity, Martin could eat an entire steak himself. He probably had close to half of mine, and then refused to believe me when I told him that it was all gone. To prove it to him I gave him my bone, but I don't think he minded the fact that he was eating mostly gristle.

Like father, like son?

We aren't going to be able to feed your family steak if you come to our house!!! Just kidding, we'll just have to buy a bigger grill.

Glad to hear Elizabeth is well behaved.

Can't wait to meet her.
