We went to Uncle Scott's house yesterday to hang out with the family. There was much eating and football watching. The camera was in the car (why I didn't grab it I do not know) so I don't have any great picks, but here are a few highlights:
- Andrew calls my brother Uncle Spot
- Sammie and Cassie love to play with Andrew and Owen, and the feeling is so very mutual
- The cheese sauce oh, the cheese sauce. He made the best.cheese.sause.ever.
- Watching the kids chase each other around and around in circles in the living room. The best entertainment really is free.
- Free cooking lessons. Let me tell you about how great a convection oven is because now I can. Did you know that if your roasting pan is a bit tight for two chickens, you can sit them up on their ends in the roasting rack and they will both fit nicely?
- Air conditioning. He lives in Palm Springs and it was 89 degrees yesterday. Isn't it like Fall or something already?
