Checkin' out Jordan Lake

Having nothing to do on a Sunday afternoon, and itching to go for a drive, we hopped in the Pilot and headed over to Jordan Lake.

It's only 10 or 15 minutes from the house, but we'd never been over there before. In fact, I didn't even know about it until a friend of mine (who lives in Maine) asked me about it.

The recreation area was pretty nice. There was a boat slip, a playground, lots of picnic tables and grassy areas, and a beach that's probably almost 100 yards long.

Cameron was out playing with a friend, so it was just Amy, Dillan, and I. We walked around checking everything out, and we swung on the swings, which Dillan really liked. I can't wait to go back with both of the boys once the weather warms up.

It's not too often that we get out, so I felt as though I should document it. We're at the Red Bowl Asian Bistro, about to have some sushi.

Thanksgiving dinner, a day late...

We ended up having our Thanksgiving dinner on Friday instead of Thursday. Since my parents live all the way out in Las Vegas, and Chris and Kim were spending the holiday with her family, we figured we would just wait and have our big dinner when Ann and Terry came down with Cameron.

Amy and I kind of threw the meal together at the last minute, but fortunately it turned out great, especially the desserts. At one point, I was so full that I thought I was going throw up. It was awesome.

My Dad came to visit

My Dad flew out from Vegas to hang with us for a few days, and to take care of some stuff with their house/property in Virginia.
He's usually not really into the little kid stuff, so Amy and I were both surprised when he not only read a book to Cameron, but he even fed Dillan some baby food.
It's nice when my parents come around because they're always really helpful with input and advice on all of our household and landscaping projects.
When he hats bback from VirginiA, my Dad's supposed to help is install a toilet, so I'll try to post pictures of it.
