Our Weekend

Mike's sister Stef her husband Eric and their dog Poncho came up this past weekend and it turned out to be the perfect weekend for them to come.

Saturday we went to Bonnetcreek Swamp for a nature hike/treasure hunt. The Geology club was hosting a treasure hunt walk where we collected polished stones for our chart, made a pet rock and colored rock snakes for the garden. On the way home we stopped at Sweet Wishes for gourmet cupcakes and then yummy VooDoo BBQ. Eric and Stef went off to explore BassPro while we took the boys home for naps. To add to my yummy cibiata bread french toast I successfully attempted homemade whipped cream for dinner. 

Sunday we went to the Fishing and Hunting Sportsman Expo. Eric was in heaven. Van got lots of freebies from the vendors. He and Eric "caught" a fish. Poor Eric as much as he tried to interest the fish they were full and Van had to reel in the already on the hook fish to get the experience of catching a fish. He found the fish wiggly. Then he rode a motorcycle amusement ride, the first time riding alone. Eric shot a bow and arrow with him. The upon his request we ate lunch outside. Eric and Stef got to go to Cabella's and we went home for naps. Pot roast and Samoa ice cream for dinner.

Van and Lily did well with Poncho. Lily arched her back for a bit and then realized that Poncho didn't have much interest in her. Once Casey is potty trained I will think about letting a dog into our house, only 1 thing I have to clean up poop from at a time.

It was a great weekend. And Stef if you would have had your phone on you could have gotten my call about leaving the cupcakes. Thanks for leaving them the raspberry filling one was great. :)

the rest of the pictures are on the slide show.
