Then we ended up having a 'camping day'. We ate sandwiches and root beer for lunch. We set up our badminton net outside and played (Andrew hit us all with his racket while we were hitting the 'birdie'...it was like this intense game of dodge ball!) then came in and had a Bar-B-Q! We cooked us up some Ball Parks (for the kids), then got really creative! We had some fish and rice left over from Friday's dinner, so instead of putting in the 'freezer' (which is what the kids call the microwave, although I have no idea why) we decided to spray some kitchen foil with Pam spray, plop the leftovers inside, and stick it on the 'barbie' (how would you spell that the Aussie way, Danno???)--not the doll, of course.
It was absolutely fantastically delicious!!! (The kids even roasted mini marshmallows on wooden shishkabob skewers, but I didn't get that one on film since Peter needed a friend at the moment.)
THEN, we decided to make toast on the BBQ, too!!
OH, that was yummy!! I buttered one side and sprinkled it with garlic salt, and boy did that manage to make some fantastic garlic toast!!!
Claire and I did some online shopping, since Land's End had some great deals on a lot of pink winter clothes. She is now ready to go to Finland (literally. She cried when I told her her clothes wouldn't get here for a few more weeks AND that she couldn't wear them here because it was too warm AND that we weren't leaving for another six months...) Josh is next. He's hard to shop for. I think we'll wait for him, since there are no sales in his size. Oh well.
It was a fun day. Stay tuned for this Friday as we have an actual camp-out planned for our living room floor complete with foil dinners and perhaps the occasional outing with a mosquito coil! :)
