At the Weekend

This past weekend was a much-needed respite from all the manic chaos of our lives lately. Yes, the floors need to be cleaned, and yes, the laundry needs to be done, but as my husband (somewhat loudly) reminded me on Saturday, "sometimes you just have to stop working and relax!" So, Saturday was all about college football. I made some shredded chicken barbeque in the crock pot...

It came out pretty well. I also made some homemade, red cabbage coleslaw to go with it. It was delish!



On Sunday, we ventured out to a pumpkin patch in Lancaster County, PA with Grandpa Lewis and Grandma Jen. There is nowhere like Lancaster for some good family, farm-based fun! We had a great time picking out pumpkins and gorging on homemade soft pretzels, apple cider, farmer's cheese and above all: WHOOPIE PIES! I don't care what Maine says--whoopie pies are and will always be the best from Lancaster, PA!

 

 

 

All in all, it was a good weekend. We love to take Brady out to experience the world, it is so much fun watching him discover life for the first time!
