Christiana Lakehouse 2023, Day 4: Indoor and Outdoor Games, Fireworks on the Lake
While I’ve gotten to see the fireworks from land before, tonight was the first time I got to be on the boat.

Christiana Lakehouse 2023, Day 3: Hand Made Pizzas, an Endless Game of Monopoly, and a Late Movie Night
Shortly after breakfast, the kids decided to break out Monopoly (rainy day today). They asked if I wanted to join, and I have to tell you… I debated, but decided to decline. Boy did I dodge a bullet there.
Christiana Lakehouse 2023, Day 2: Happy Hour and a Boat Ride
I really like this shot. It has the look of a Renaissance painting to me.
Christiana Lakehouse 2023, Day 1: Travel and a lot of Rain
The skies were getting darker and darker as we got towards the Indiana/Michigan border. And right as we got near, just about 6 minutes away… the rain really started coming down. I’m talking windshield wipers on full, every car slowing down to 15 miles an hour, and everyone throwing on their blinkers.
Katie and Tim’s Wedding
Tim’s father, Ray, was the officiant who did the marriage all those years ago. He was also the one who officiated last year (when they officially tied the knot). And he was the officiant today, when Tim and Katie were married in front of all their family and friends.
Ray is in the unique position to have married Katie and Tim not once, not twice, but thrice. Which seems like a very special and lucky thing, if you ask me.
Christiana Lakehouse, Day 3
Brandon set up a slack line (and is something to behold, watching him run and leap onto the thing).
Christiana Lakehouse, Day 2
A big event that many of us were looking forward to this weekend: Tricia, visiting with the kids. It’s been ages since Liz and I have seen Paige, Audrey, and Sebastian… and it was a mini-reunion of sorts when they all arrived.
Las Catalinas, Day 3: Sensoria Rainforest Hike and Thermal Pools, Scotch Tasting
Despite a late night ringing in the new year watching fireworks on the beach, a group of us woke up early (6:00 AM) to drive about 2+ hours for a rainforest hike at Sensoria.
Las Catalinas, Day 1: Lazy Day, Dinner at Patagonia Del Mar
On the drive to dinner, we encountered a few cows wandering the road. This happened more than once, during the length of our stay. Brandon and Lauren had been warned about “vacas negras” as something to keep an eye out for, while driving at night.
Easter Weekend at the Lakehouse: Day 3
Easter dinner, which would later be followed by some apple pie. Great meal, great weekend.
Easter Weekend at the Lakehouse: Day 2
Liz and I got to stay in the basement at the lakehouse, and that room always results in more sleep that we intended. Given that the room has no windows, it’s easy to lose track of time – and to roll out of bed around 9:30 or 10AM without thinking twice.
Easter Weekend at the Christiana Lake House, Day 2
A parliament of Peeps.
Easter Weekend at the Christiana Lake House, Day 1
Some hot dogs (and peeps) were roasted on the fire. An incredibly relaxing end to an incredibly relaxing day.
Surprise Birthday Party for Beth and Brandon
A few weeks ago, we got an invite to a surprise birthday party for Brandon and Aunt Beth (whose birthdays are close together). Folks drove in from all over, and were staying at a hotel in Frankfort – with a bus arranged to transport folks over to CD & Me, a few miles away.

Stitched together a few photos, and made this animated GIF. Part of the fun during our Kayaking trip this past weekend.
