The past two weekends in photo review

Two weekends ago, we went to Lake Wawasee to visit my family. We had Monday off (it was Victoria Day in Canada), so it was a great time to go visit. Even though we got a late start (boo to Gary having to work on Saturday), it was still a great trip. Delilah loved being on the lake!

On Monday, my dad took off work (much to my mom's dismay) and spent the day golfing with us. Here he is putting up a storm on the greens!My form actually looks pretty good. Surprisingly, I didn't golf too terribly, either!This past weekend (Memorial Day weekend), Eric, Gwen, Sydney, and Tim came for their first visit. They hung out on the deck,
took their first TTC ride (Tim LOVED it!) Found some fish in a fountain.....(they're sharks :) )And took the trademark picture with the CN Tower in the background. And that was all on their first day!
Day two was a trip to the Toronto Zoo....one of our favorite spots in the city!





This one's for Dino and Jeff!! Go alpacas! And finished off a perfect day with bomb pops.....what a fun weekend!

Back Home Again....

Gary went on a fishing trip last weekend and I was lucky enough to be able to go down to my parents' house for a visit for the first time since Christmas! It's hard for me to believe that I had been away from Huntington and everyone there for so long, but I guess time flies when you're having fun! :)
We were able to get Friday off (thankfully, since things in the automotive world are INSANE right now) and we drove to Gary's parents' house on Thursday night. I was able to get up on Friday, have my morning tea, and then I packed up Delilah and we were on our way back to H-Town!

Since my parents were still working and my sister was en route from Purdue, my first stop was for hot dogs at the B&K with Linda (a good clay factory buddy of mine!!). It was nice to see her for the first time since Thanksgiving. After we ate those wonderful hot dogs, we stopped down at Art Chemical for a surprise visit. I hadn't been in there in a couple years, it was great to stop by and see everyone! Abby came over with baby Nolan once I went to my parents' house. He's so adorable! I got to hold him and feed him--he's such a sweet baby.


Speaking of sweet babies, on Friday night we had a mini-family reunion and I got to meet my cousin Cara's son Aiden. He is so cute, too! It's so amazing to me that all of these people in my life now have kids! :) Having all of the family around was totally fun and gave us some photo ops, as usual.




It was a full weekend....I also had lunch with Abby and Jenny on Saturday and joined Jenny for her birthday bash at her parents' house....it's nice to be an honorary member of the Baker family!

Delilah had a wonderful time playing with her grandpa. I don't know who was more excited to see who, as you can tell by this picture. SOMEONE needs a dog! :)

It was great to be back home! I'm hoping that we'll be able to visit again soon--hopefully for either Memorial Day, our first anniversary (since we get a free room at Swan Lake), or both!! :)
