Lion's Den with Janna & Nick

Tim's cousin, Janna, and her husband, Nick, were in the area for the weekend and decided to come hang out with us, check out our house, and tour Port Washington. After lunch, we hit up Hidden Treasures and St. Vinnie's since Janna loves to go thrifting! Then we headed to the Lion's Den Park so their dog, Brita, could get some fresh air and not be stuck in the car. The weather was a little windy, but enjoyable. The butterflies were all out so it was fun to see them fluttering around.

Where have all the leaves gone?

A path less traveled by

Breath-taking

Even the ugliest of scum can seem beautiful

After our walk, Janna and Nick went to Grafton by her brother, Matt, while we all went back home to rest. Sonya was in desperate need for a nap. Then for supper, we hit up the Water Street Brewery. Tim had his usual diet Coke and I had water (in case you wondered). :-) Matt's fiance, Jamie, was able to join us as well as another cousin, Chad (who is not pictured, but was sitting opposite of Matt and Sonya). Dinner was great! Since we didn't want to keep the kids up too late, we went back to la casa de Michelle and Tim where we enjoyed leftover desserts from Girls' Night -- black bean brownies and strawberry swirl cheesecake. Yum!
