Just for Fun

 Just for the fun of enjoying this amazing fall day we took a bike ride around lake Phalen. We were even blessed with surprise visitors who joined us and made it even more fun. Henry got to go along too! The sun was bright and shiny, the air was a perfect 75 degrees and the trail was fine. We rode fast and made it home and back again in one hour. I think that is pretty good.  We typically stop at a park or the beach so that is probably why it seemed so efficient to me.

Just because I like to play with my food I made a batch of white looking and a batch of brown looking bread this week and then the kids and I made different shapes with some of the dough and I also rolled two loaves up like cinnamon rolls. When the loaves were sliced they were quite pretty. I forgot to take a picture of them baked and sliced so I will have to do it again some day. They were even quite tasty. I used coconut, barley and oat flour with a little bread flour to make the white loaf, then for the brown loaf I used molasses and mostly hard red wheat.

 Just for fun four girls made a fort way out in the woods and wanted to sleep in it that night. Just for fun these boys went with us to see if said fort was a safe place to sleep. Just out of curiosity we asked if they even all fit into this fort and this is how it worked, one sat up and the others criss-crossed and they all fit. Just because he cares Grandpa went and helped them increase the size and put a tarp over the top and they slept soundly all night long in the fort that they built with there own 8 hands.

Just because he likes to be a rascal Harrison groaned and told me he hates list when I broke out the to-do list for Saturday. And just because he wanted to prove how efficient a list can make things he (and we) got our things down in record time!
Just thought you would want to know,

And we want to add that we agree totally with Keren! Thanks a bunch for a fun post and neat pictures of some really wonderful people! Of course, I am puzzling over how you were able to get your surprise company. I shall have to do some investigating! Love you!

I just want to say this was a most lovely read. I just miss you all a lot too. We think we should make bread like that- looks like a bunch of fun. The bike ride, well, we all groaned and said we wished we could of been with that very wonderful group in that place too.

Martha, we all are missing you a bunch just now as well. Last year at this time we were visiting you and hanging out at the Beach. Travis recently put up the pictures of that time on the rotation for my screen saver so I have been reliving those memories. I am desperately in the mood for a long road trip, I wish money was not such a factor in life:(
