went up to the big o this weekend and it was amazing. we ate and played, and ate and played, and ate and played, and watched a lot of mummy, and only suffered taco belly part of the time.
it was a summer road tripping, massive sugar eating, climbing everything kind of weekend.
obviously I haven't been the best at blogging this summer, but here's a little that's been happening.
in june, some of my favorite people in the world came to visit a couple of times. we watched a lot of BBC, enjoyed many sonic happy hours, made a game out of how many deaths etc. would be in every movie we watched, (BBC damage) and made mac and cheese pie with a bacon lattice. they're pretty amazing, for obvious reasons.
we made a pie out of cherries from our own tree, very exciting, and I worked on some wedding invitations.
is it sad that we definitely celebrated bastille day more than our own independence day? probably yes, but we had a great time.
saturday night we went to Le Fou Frog and ate escargot and frog legs and other crazy but surprisingly good food. sunday (the actual holiday) we ate crepes, wore stripes, listened to Bastille and Edith Piaf, and watched the scarlet pimpernel. I also wore four different sets of stripes in two day. talent, folks.
we spent our precious off time in south bend with half the sisters' kohrs and the coolest couple notre dame could offer.
first we stopped for the night in omaha, then started annoyingling bright and early the next morning for SB. we saw much barren waste land, and went through the birthplaces of many cool people, but most importantly, joliet - birthplace of Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson!)
once there we participated in a native american art battle. clearly we were the best. then we ate fish and chips at an irish pub.
homework happened some of the time.
breakfast for dinner (bowls of bacon,) and much deserved doughnuts.
we dodged many children on an olympic sized skating rink, and ate beignets after.
we stuffed our faces with pizza, and watched many movies while enjoying many cheesy balls.
then of course we drove home against a snow storm, across even more barren looking wasteland than before. we stopped for a delicious dinner in omaha, and got home in time to finish all the rest of the homework due the next morning.
