Winona Lake with Cousin Pat

We took a road trip with Pat to Winona Lake which is near Warsaw. Take that, mapquest, we found it this time, without your help, ha! We had lunch at The Boathouse Restaurant. This time, we sat on the screened-in porch. The view of the lake was beautiful. Food was delicious, like last time. The wine list was fun! Long descriptions of every wine, made them all sound good. Since it was going to be awhile before we drove, we all enjoyed (well, not Maya, silly) a delicious glass of white wine. I wish I remembered what it was, oh well. Then we went out on a floating pier so Maya could feed the fish. Not wise, after having a glass of wine, but when were we ever wise?! She had a blast. My girl fits right in with Mom and Pat.

One of the stores sold copper bubble-maker-thingies and had a demonstrator outside in front of the store. Well, who, with a three-year old, could pass that up! Not us! It was very fun for Maya and ahem, all of us. It did make incredible bubbles.

Maya's dress, by the way, was made by Toni Tierney. Through someone on twitter, I found out that she was having a special sale and you needed to call her. Well, I'm not big on calling on the phone, but what won't I do for a bargain. So I called her and left a message. She called me back and we chatted. She just enjoys talking to people and hearing their stories. I told her about us and order two summer and two fall dresses - I asked her to pick them out. They are adorable! I think this is one of the fall ones, but Maya wanted to wear it. I like that it's unique. As much as I like Carter's clothes, gosh, you see it coming and going.

If it's too cold to swim....fishing!

Wayne's Birthday!

We went to Wagner's to celebrate Wayne's birthday. Maya remembered that was the restaurant we went to with Uncle Fred and Aunt Carol AND it's the one with the scary picture. There's a framed Tanqueray poster with a green devil holding a bottle. Maya acts as if she is so scared of it. But the ribs and steaks are too good for us to listen ;)

Then after dinner we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for german chocolate cake (Daddy's fave, of course!).
