A little action from our camping trip

Highlights:
taught my nephew to play badminton (he loves it now, btw)
hiking to the waterfall
Tillie rolled all over a dead snake and bugs came flying out
scary/funny stories around the campfire
late night rummy games by lantern light
DQ Blizzards on the way home


When we got home, we met up with Schuck and hit up the Greek Food Festival but it sucked after a gyro and souvlaki we left and went to Layla's and had some real Greek food. Their falafel platter is heaven. And their baklava is a million times better than anything we would have found at that pathetic excuse for a food festival.

Happy Birthday Andrew!

Andrew turned the BIG 26 today!

We had lunch @ Zsa Zsa's and then went across the street for cupcakes. They were delicious.
Then we came home and I finished making dinner and cleaned. Everyone showed up for dinner and had the chicken souvlaki gyros, greek salad, hummus and pita chips, and baklava. It turned out pretty good. Even my parents gave their seal of approval. And I also made Andrew his favorite carrot cake. He got a bunch of clothes, Band of Brothers box set, and a game for the DS. And a really funny card about being married to me, a clothes-a-holic.

I also finally got to give him the tickets I bought for the Guiness Storehouse tour in Dublin. He is going to LOVE it.

P.S. I've been playing the Sims 3 ALL day today. It is super fun. You should play it.

We had fun anyway

We camped in the backyard last night. No one got much sleep. It rained around 3:00a and Tillie freaked out. My parents' air mattress got a hole in it and my dad hurt his back. We woke up early this morning, had a big breakfast, came home and took showers, and have been going ever since.

We checked out some antiques. We read up on some vacation hot spots @ Barnes and Noble. We met Schuck at the Greek Food Festival for some good eats. We finally came home and we able to squeeze in a quick nap before heading back over to my parents' to eat the kabobs we were originally supposed to eat on our camping trip. And we had some good wine and played Rumikube. Not a bad way to spend a rainy Saturday night.
