Red River

Right after school let out we took a family trip to the family cabin in Red River! Added bonus was that our good friends and neighbors the Atkinson's came with us!! It was perfect b/c not only did the kids have playmates but the adults had playmates as well. 

We hiked, explored, built "forts", read books, summer tubed, rode the ski lift, gambled (no money involved of course), roasted, climbed, shot bb's, shopped and just had a GOOD OL TIME!! 

Stay awesome Red River!! We will see ya next year!

A celebration 3 yrs in the making

Last night we finally got to celebrate Derrek getting his MBA with his family and more close friends! As is the tradition for achieving a degree of higher learning we did the Chef's table at Brennan's! If you have never done this before it is AH-MAZING!! You are seated at a table IN THE KITCHEN of the restaurant so that you can see and be right in the thick of everything that is going on. You get a tour of the kitchen and get to help cook with the chefs a little bit too. We had 6 courses with the wine pairings and it was phenomenal! I highly recommend doing this at least once!! Huge thanks to all who celebrated with us and of course HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to my sweet husband!!
