We had to make the table look awesome:
(Sweet-looking glasses are from Mexico, courtesy of Aaron's sister Bethany who is a missionary there. Thanks, Beth!!!)
Then make an equally awesome-looking dessert.
Of course we forgot to take a picture of the actual Sunday dinner, but at least I got this picture of a dog beach!
The four of us explored the nearby parks that are right along Lake Michigan. Aaron and I have been at work and in the apartment so much that I never even realized how close we were.
Dad Dean, Aaron, and Mom Dean! No friend, Aaron isn't a part of the Ministry of Silly Walks. He's skipping stones! You're crazy.
Look, there's some feet! One guess as to which pair belong to yours truly! Not that I'll give you a prize or anything.
The final portion of our escapade brought us to Lincolnshire where we played what they call "putt-putt" at Par-King Skill Golf--the [self-proclaimed] World's Most Unusual Miniature Golf [Course]. I'm usually skeptical of these bold declarations, but, well, would it be too much to say that I left a better person? 'haps. So I'll just say that it kinda blew my mind. Check it.
I ended up in 2nd place, bruising Aaron's 4th place pride. :) Such a great day!
I just got a call from a dear college friend of mine who might be visiting for dinner!! Yippee! How appropriate--it's as if she's in the room, reading over what I type. She's not, though. Time to prepare some baked mac and cheese!

*First guest award goes to Aaron's brother Ben, who valiantly braved (redundant? Most likely.) a visit to our place two days after we moved in and helped us assemble furniture, though that wasn't his original intention, I'm sure! (THANK YOU AGAIN!!!)
oooh i want to go that there putt-putt.!

nice glasses they look awesome with the table cloth...I like it, and that pie looks amazing. I need the recipe!!! We just got back from crazy July: Morelia with Aunt Donna and Jack, San Luis Potosi where the camp Kurt was at before is, and we got to be counselors all week, it was awesome. Then we got a 3 day mini vacation to tour the rainforest portion of that state, the beach (Gulf of Mexico), and some amazing caves, you guys would have loved it. Some day you guys will have to come down and we will take you to all the cool things that are off the beaten track here. Hope your jobs and Target and life in Chicago are treating you well. Hopefully we will be home by Christmas, we should know by month's end...pray pray pray!!!
ReplyDelete@rcook--d?! Please say it's "d"! Though if you do, it may further my suspicion that my unpleasant odor was the cause of "b" and "c" up and leaving town in the first place! ;D
ReplyDelete@Bethany--oh man, it was so so tasty. The perfect dessert for warm weather days and super easy to make! http://www.pillsbury.com/Recipes/ShowRecipe.aspx?rid=44199&WT.dcsvid=NTc1ODc3NTczMwS2&rvrin=409D6ACC-BA6A-4ADA-B904-B42D9FB42BBA&WT.mc_id=Newsletter_PBdaily_07_23_2010
Wow, it sounds like you had quite the action-packed July! It sounds like it was really awesome, and Aaron and I would LOVE to get down there at some point and see the sights! And I'll definitely be praying for you guys--we want to see you and Kurt at Christmastime! Hope your August is just as fun as your July (minus any stress! ;))!!
