the best of friends

we went to the lamoreaux cabin for the weekend, it was quite fun.

it sits on a tranquil river that is always crystal clear.


scott gave us a fly tying demonstration.


he made bugs. apparently they are useful in catching fish.


we had several invigorating rounds of badminton. it was very challenging and exciting.


i realize these score keepers appear to be bored in this photo, they are not. this was a very coveted position. the job was part scorekeeper, part line judge and mostly heckler.


clara was quite good at it.


i humbly admit, scott and i are the reigning champs. undefeated... i also humbly admit, it was mostly scott's doing.


we had a wonderful italian dinner al fresco, it began with a wine tasting of italian wines out on the dock. we each received our own italian tattoo in our italian name (don't worry they were stick on). i hesitate to show where they were stuck... (o:


the salad was yummy and light. it was all paired wonderfully with the many sips of the italian wines we had along with it. we spoke (or at least scott & bill attempted to more than most) with the accent of italians.


it was an evening filled with merrymaking and abundant laughter and a bit of Italy. (we are obsessed, we admit it.)




we played a fun game asking probing questions and got to know one another even better (if that is even possible for this group). played tripoly until the cows came in. (i did really well, it was exiting!)

we missed our compagei in denver very much (they couldn't make it this year) )o: maybe next! (o:

it was a glorious weekend. thanks for hosting us Lams.
we love you all.
