Weekend at the Lake

Weekend at the Lake

Two whole days to enjoy ourselves in Hot Springs! Highlights:

Raising our flag

 Owen has learned to pull himself up since he was here last so there was new exploring to do

 

A trip to Cajun Boilers where they finally gave us 5% off our tab for being loyal customers, Yay!

  Owen sat in a highchair for the first time here

My husband once again indulged my eccentricities and didn't mention that the Hogs were scheduled to start playing while we were eating so I wouldn't feel bad. Wonder if Owen will be so nice when he's older and wants to watch the game? I think there was a rain delay anyway.

And our food was perfect as usual - fried shrimp and catfish and grilled Mahi Mahi with Ponchatrain sauce

Somehow we became hungry again - Clint made a Shipley's run while I cooked bacon and eggs for breakfast.

Morning was cloudy but comfortable. Post-breakfast CBS Sunday Morning watching is so relaxing -

So we had to take a nap

Sun came out! Clint spent a few hours working on gutters and the yard and I raked and bagged 4 bags of leaves (small dent). We had a very nice visit with neighbor friends who told us repeatedly how cute our baby was (Oh it never gets old!)
Simple lunch of grilled sausage and peppers on Hawaiian rolls with Kettle Buffalo Bleu chips

Owen didn't get any but enjoyed himself anyway

Yes, we put a rug and toys down for him to play on but he MUCH preferred the pile of dead leaves. So much fun to crunch in your hands while we try to keep them out of his mouth!
