Did you know “Drake” besides being a name also means a male duck? Kelly and Chris went with this for Drake’s birthday and had a big party Saturday night. They put rubber ducks in the pool, made a mini duck cake just for Drake.

Made a big duck cake for us

and lots of duck snacks

Chris even grilled some actual duck (or possibly goose) on kabobs. 
There were lots of people and food.

and scary rain clouds in the distance

but we only got a few drops on us. Drake wore his homemade by cousin Rachel birthday hat

and did a good job eating his cake until it slid off the end of the table and I missed catching it.

We sang happy birthday and he opened presents.

I think everyone had a great time, especially the birthday boy.

Of course we ate well this weekend. Grilling with the Anderson’s on Saturday afternoon.


Homemade pizzas by Pumpkin for our anniversary.


and a hoagie picknick at the park


While at the park we did some playing



and the kids had a blast

After Loose Park we stopped by my office for me to work a bit and train a new intern.


We got in a little hike and visit to a nature center at Swope Park.


We also cleaned up around the house saw some friends and put new breaks on the van.
