Boat with Dad & Kristin

Ricky was itching to get out on the boat so we called up Dad and Kristin and asked them what they had planned for the day. After Eric's soccer game the four of us went out on Lake Mendota in Madison. It was a super hot day - so perfect to be out on the lake. Dad and Kristin brought snacks/drinks and the company was great. We stopped to eat dinner at the Edgewater. It was cool b/c you could just pull up on your boat, tie it up and eat right out on the deck. Yeah, if only it was that easy! Wowza! It out of nowhere became a really windy afternoon on the lake and the boat was crashing into the dock. Ricky was not loving this so him and Dad hung on the boat out on the lake while Kristin and I waited for our food. To-go containers were a hit and we ate on the lake. The night was complete when we stopped at Kristin's friend Stephanie's parents house on the lake. We chatted it up there and then headed home b/c it was dark. Definite highlight was Krisin using the little on board bathroom. I still think your bag is floating out there Kristin - haha!!! Good times with Dad and Kristin!

Flowers & Cucumbers???

Today I went to the Farmers Market, like I do every Wednesday. Of course, my little Hmong family was happy to see me, as I was to see them. Today however they gave me a little something extra. As I was paying for my flowers the Dad whispered something to the daughter and she started packing a bag of like 6 cucumbers. She handed the flowers and veggies to me and said, "here....for you." Honestly? Can this family be any cuter??? I just cannot believe how friendly some people are. It truly made my day.
