Ah, Mother's Day. A time to head up to the Brown House and relax! A time to let the man and boys in my life pamper me for a few days. And that is exactly what we did.
You know it's MY weekend, when Dan even DRIVES!!!
Friday afternoon we headed up 75 stopping along the way for some magic tricks at Arby's. We got to the BH in time to jump on the trampoline and make a nice fire for smores. Yum.
After putting the kids to bed we watched 27 dresses. Ok, well, I watched it and Dan read and did some computer work. It was a cute movie.
Saturday we woke to bright sunshine and 65 degree temperatures. Perfect! After letting me sleep in, I was served breakfast on the deck. Then we launched the paddle boat and went out on the lake fishing. I had the honor of catching the first fish of the season, but Dan soon upstaged me by reeling in a HUGE large mouth bass! It was a beauty. Luckily Gret had the net ready or it could have been the one that got away! Later on I caught my own bass. It was not quite as big as Dan's, but it was still a nice sized fish.
(The 1st fish!)...........................................(The biggest fish!)We took our bikes with us this time and except for one wipe out (which involved both boys) we had fun riding them to the big lake. Now that we have all the equipment to strap them on the car and go, we plan on bringing them more often.
Saturday evening we went up to Michler's Drive In for the famous chicken dinner. It did not disappoint. Lu and Dorena agreed to take the boys on Sat. night so we could catch the Wings game at a local bar. So, we dropped them off and headed out. It was quite the experience checking out the local bar scene. Very entertaining to say the least! The drinks were very affordable and you could even get elephant ears at the bar...2 for $1.00! Quite a deal. The Wings won to top it all off, making it a great night.
Woke up to clouds on Sunday, which made it easier to pack up and head home. All in all, a wonderful Mother's Day Weekend!
