A little bit of everything...

last week friday we headed up for a day at the stachowiak's new cottage.

we had been working hard on our house projects...there will be a separate post on that.

so we drove up to have an afternoon full of fun.

drew and denny walked around and discussed guy stuff.

diane and i sat on inside and outside and just talked.

max played "pirates" with hannah and teddy.

then he found this rock which apparently looked just like a bicycle.

i don't see it...do you?

all the running around and fresh air wore this guy out!

last saturday night we had our first fire!

can you tell we were excited?

drew got a good deal on this new fire pit.  i like it because it has a lid and is closed in all the way around.

there is a door that you can open...we used it to roast marshmallows of course!

mr. max got to enjoy his very first s'more.  he was a fan!

he liked sitting by the fire.  

it really made me start to look forward to our first camping adventure!

and on sunday we enjoyed a family movie night.

we watched monsters inc. and enjoyed popcorn and lemonade!

monday night we took a trip to mcdonalds for a ice cream cone.  

max's coat enjoyed the ice cream just as much as he did! :)

tuesday was a bit chilly but we took our first spin around on our bike.  

it was a short ride, but max was just a bit excited about it!
