Friends and Food

Friends are the reason for all the food! :}

The day's activities started with Dave and Laurie taking us to the "Log House" for breakfast.  There was lots planned for the day so needed to fuel up the body.  It was a great Western Omelet!

Then it was off to a junior high volleyball tournament.  Dave's granddaughter, Haley, was playing in the tournament.  Haley's team won the first game and lost the second game...end of tournament. 

There was plans for a late dinner so Dave pulled into the McDonalds after the volleyball games.  We decided an ice cream would tide us over until this evening.

There was time to go back to the house for a short time.  Just perfect for a nap.

Leaving at 4:30 we went to the nearby soccer field to see Blake, Haley's brother, play for first place in the soccer tourney.  It was a winner, and Blake scored one of the three goals. 

Leaving the soccer fields we drove about 50 minutes to Shipshawanna to an Amish Restaurant.  I have forgotten the name of it.  Thankfully we ordered off the menu and didn't have "all you can eat."  Glen had fried chicken and sides and I had one pork chop with one side.  The pork chop was yummy. 

Dave's daughter-in-law, Stephanie, and three children joined us for dinner.  Dave's son and Stephanie's husband, Eric, is in San Diego, CA, where he is a starting pitcher for the Padres.  Stephanie and kids are here (home) so Maddie could start first grade this week.  Luke is 4, and baby Hallie is 9 months old.  Eric and Stephanie are a super couple and have wonderful children. 

It has been a fun day, full with friends and their activities.

Watching the soccer game brought back many memories of sitting on the sidelines of our son's high school soccer games.
