09/05/08: The Best of Times...*

Been having good times lately.

Annual Disney trip with the family back in March was loverly.

Got to see lots of old friends in April. And went to a beautiful castle in CT wedding, yay!

May was a fun kid filled picnic as you may recall, he he he. And the usual fiber fun in Maryland, great to have old friends into the knitting too now, can't wait for october!

June trip to Denmark to see our new niece was amazing. So relaxing and pretty, and all the sun that time of year was great! Oh and a little Belgium in between was good and yummy too! I am in love with chocolate and licorice! This was my favorite road sign there :)

Rode the ferris wheel and the swings for the fourth while watching fireworks, and eating Cotton Candy, Carmel Apples, and fried dough!

Had a lamb/pig roast pool party slava at the house. Always a good time. Attempted to play the bass again, I think I enjoy swinging it around more than the plucking and getting blisters part :) My kolach (traditional bread) came out fabulous! Was very excited about that.

Went to the Jersey shore to attempt to surf! Caught waves just never stood up :) (the sister did stand though, cool beans!) Ate yummy mexican style food after. Wish it was closer to home man!



Helped out with a Lobster Dinner fund raiser for my church. Was delicious! And got to see a friends baby fall in love with lobster legs, so cute! He just loved to suck on them. Oh and hello made hundreds of cheddar biscuits like red lobster for this event. Kitchen smelled great for days :) Did I mention how good the corn was?!? yummm...



Took a drive down to Orlando. Meant to use Winnie's little sister Jett (oh yes we are cheesy and now have Winnie and the Jett for fun motoring purposes) but ended up with Winnie due to Gustav's residual weather. Ate in Cinderella's Castle with the fireworks outside the window. Paddle boated. Swam in the rain :) Ate so much good food! Fulton's Crab House is awesome!! We are talking 12 king crab claws each! Delish! I had Cherry cobbler for dessert, hubs had filet mignon, seriously!





And Wednesday we got to go to the U.S. Open. Watched the William's sisters play each other in the quarter finals. AWESOME! and then we got to see #1 Nadal vs. Fish. Also an AWESOME match. Not to mention we ended up court side only 3 rows from the court floor. The fun night lasted til 2:30am. Did I mention the fabulous banana split we shared?





Good grief so now I am trying to pretend to come up with a work out plan to counter act all the eating this last month! Either join a gym, start skating again, work out at home, all 3, none of the above :) Hmm maybe I should rollerblade on the path, been awhile since I did that too!

But yay it has been a fun food filled year so far! And with all this fun, man I only knit one pair of socks all summer! I still need to take the pics though. Good grief :)

* yes I love STYX. Can't help myself.
