Weekend of Meat!

It was a great weekend! We went to Meatfest (it's exactly what it sounds like). The girls had bacon ice-cream cones, bacon lollipops, played corn-hole and hung out with a whole bunch of my college friends of my kids. Abby took a bunch of pictures with Kathleen's camera. Turns out she's pretty talented (I knew it all along).

We also did a bunch of bike riding practice. We rode up to the forum, had lunch at Chipotle and rode back.

Backyard Camping

We had an adventure over labor day weekend... I set up the tent in the backyard for the girls to have a backyard camping trip!

Sabrina Katz came over and the girls had burgers, dogs and corn. The girls collected wood and I built a fire for s'mores. They sat by the fire and then played flashlight tag on the trampoline. It was great watching the lights bounce up and down in the dark and hearing them laughing for hours. I snuck around the house and scared them in the tent (and they got revenge on me in my bedroom later that night).

It eventually got too hot for them and they came inside to sleep. It's the end of the summer and I think we can go on a real camping trip this fall.

We watched the last 2 Harry Potter movies on Saturday and Sunday and Abby went for a play date with her best friend Payton while Kathleen, Marina and I went on a long bike ride around the neighborhood. We almost got lost but Marina toughed it out up and down all the hills.

We made a special breakfast this weekend...Elvis French Toast!

Elvis French Toast:

Mix Peanut Butter and Banana's in bowl thoroughly together in a bowl and spread mixture between two pieces of bread.
