2 day pass

this was a weekend filled with highlights. 

jess and i very much enjoyed a friday night out and also this take on bruschetta.  it was a tasty pico topped with the creamiest, loveliest goat cheese that i'm pretty sure would taste good on or with anything.  we lingered on the patio of an area wine bar as the sun went down.  we had our fill of grapes, girl talk and good food.
  

these two sold their share of lemonade on a sunny afternoon.  they earned $13.25 at a quarter a cup. of their own sweet will, they decided to donate the money to charity.  the humane society is the lucky benefactor.


miss bit and i enjoyed a detour an adventure on our way to t. bone's baseball game saturday thanks to an early start and a missed exit.  we decided to check out a nature preserve despite the fact that we were wearing flip flops. we only hiked a little on down the trail before miss bit almost stepped on a snake and we both screamed so loud that we were hoarse afterwards.  i almost felt sorry for the snake who slithered away swiftly.  we pinky swore promised to make time to explore the trails soon and to wear proper walking shoes when doing so.






the game only lasted an hour.  i'm not complaining, but it hardly seems worth the 45 minute drive.  it was another slaughter for the knights.  tonight we play the other undefeated team  real competition in our pool. it's supposed to be 100+ degrees.  good thing the game is at 8:00 pm under the lights. 


we bid adieu to loyal fans (including one whistling god mother aunt) and celebrated over ice cream with the team and sides of fries.


we had a relaxing night at home saturday.  well, except for miss bit who had a last minute swim date at the pool with some neighbor friends.  don't worry, we saved her some pizza, but she was so excited to hang out with the older girls that i doubt she would have cared.  coach mastered the dough. it was perfecto.  just the way i love it...crispy and cracker thin.  



after practice and a walk on sunday, we packed up again for another glorious afternoon at the lake.  t. bone brought a pal,  miss bit made friends there and we met up with my aunt and uncle who make a visit to the beach delicious and all the more fun.  the afternoon was frog fruitful and family fun.









i came home, took a nap and then went to bed.  what can i say?  i was worn out after so much goodness.
