Looking forward

It's almost that time of year again (No not talking about Autumn...tho I am anxiously awaiting its arrival as well) Vacation time!

Every August-well at least in the last 6 years-we go to Priest Lake as a family! The first year I went mg took me and proposed to me. And every year we return with our family in tow and meet mg's family there.

It was their family tradition long before it was ours. Mg's mom grew up going to Priest Lake in the summers Her parents had a place there...and then she raised her kids going there every summer as well. So we are just keeping the tradition alive.

We stay on the lake in a sweet little cabin and play all day in the water and the sand. We hike sometimes and we take the canoe out. Owen lives for paddle boating and throwing things in the water for us to fetch. We eat meals together and basically just relax and play with our kids for an entire week. It's pretty great.

I'm looking forward to it.

Though my house is in a wreck and I haven't started a list of what to pack...I know I need to go shopping and do laundry. I am just getting over a cold so I'm kind of week and exhausted. I feel a little disheartened by all that lies between me and that lake... Uhg. I guess I better start moving forward instead of just looking.

Zucchini Bread

We have made 6 loves of gluten free dairy free zucchini bread this week.

I am going to freeze the loaves we made today. They are chocolate with chocolate chips.



We all really love this recipe...

Even our lodger Mr. Brown likes it.

Oh yes, you heard me right. We have taken a lodger. He lives in our basement cell and pays us rent in baby sitting. It's a sweet gig for everyone. Mr Brown's name is Michael... so naturally we don't call him that...(it would be too confusing...because that's mg's name too...and I call mg Michael to his face).

So Mr Brown may just stay a little while or he may be here a bit longer than that...who knows? We like him...and he likes our kids and our zucchini bread.
