Family Reunion


We went up to Curt's parents house for a family reunion. On Friday night curt went on camping with his dad brother and nephew for fathers and sons. So the girls had a girls night out. We had smores and watched one of Jane Austins movies called Persuasion.
On Saturday I played at the park with the kids while curt was helping his dad put in a new door for fathers day.
That night we all played Crockett. Curt and I set up the course that was kind of like a mine golf course. We had it going all over the back yard and around obstacles. The end stick was up a ramp so you had to hit you ball though the two hoops, up the ramp and hit the stick. It was a funny game with the kids. Hanna stole curt club and was hitting the ball the through the hoops. It was fun to get away for a few days and spend time with family.

Trying New Recipes

Sometimes for date nights we try new recipies and they don't always work out perfectly. It is fun trying to cook in a small kitchen because their is not much counter space. We were trying to make a chicken pot pie and their was not enough room on the counter to roll out the dough so we had to bring it out on to the table. We had flour every where and then the dough did not even fit into the dish very well. Some of the cruts was really thick and other part were really thin. Yet it tasted really good so i guess that is all that matters.
Sometimes I am amazed at how brilliant i am. Today i was cooking dinner and i was making porcupines, which are meat balls with rice. I was not thinking and i browned the hamburger first so we could not make them into balls. So we fried it up and ended up making sloppypines instead of porcupines. I guess i need to read recipes more carefully.
