Roast It Up



We had a good weekend. I think we say that every week, but it's true. On Saturday we went over to Jake's house to play. You would think that this would barely even be a newsmaker since we see each other several times a week. However, a simple chage in venue makes all the difference. We played outside in the sandbox, and inside with his kitchen. It has a grill, so it is more of a "guy's" kitchen. Mom played tractors with Jake, and he was really serious about it. I wasn't even that afraid of his big dog Magic (for those of you who remember Buddy, Magic is his Mom). I was even petting her by the time we left. Jake and I are sitll talking about the play date this week.

Saturday evening we went to my Great Aunt Sandy and Uncle Roger's for my first ever weiner roast. Daddy's cousin Wendy was down from the Chicago area, so Aunt Sandy had everyone over so Wendy didn't have to spend all of her time making the rounds to see everybody. There were lots of yummy treats, a big fire, and professional quality roasting sticks (Uncle Roger doesn't mess around with sharpening the sticks; they're the real deal). I had my first s'more too, and told Mom it was "delicious". Quite a bit of Daddy's family was there. I saw Olivia again. Yay! We ate chips and ran around togehter. I also got to see baby Grant (Jason and Dana's baby). He is six months old now! He was a little cautious of the adults, but I think he liked me. I sure liked him. As soon as Maggie got there, I tried to be her shadow. She's 16, so naturally she was the coolest person there for me. I sat by her, told her silly stories that didn't make sense, and got up and followed her when she went anywhere. Still, when Mom asked me what my favorite part of the roast was I said, "eating hotdogs". Fitting I guess.

Have a good week everybody!
