weiners of wayne county

every year we try to go to torrey for the appledays 

celebration.

they have one of those awesome small town parades that really just make you happy and this year was no exception...

except the "wieners of wayne county" float...

no tiko:(

grandma and grandpa actually teared up when we saw this float...

it was sad because tiko has been part of this float for for a very long time.

the kids used to take turns being in the parade with her.

if i am not mistaken, i think it was beau's turn...

we missed her:(

however, the parade and torrey were fun this year.

they have a new place in torrey called 

"the saddlery"

and it is really fun...

it is a cowboy bar that looks like something out of 

"urban cowboy".

so neat.

you will all have to go there when you visit

grandma and grandpa.

they even went there with us...
(at 10:00pm:))

we also went to "the lodge" for breakfast.

my kids have a apparently been there before but matt and i were first timers.

it was delicious and beautiful and 

we dined with buffalo...

we also stopped by 
"the robbers roost"

and saw an outdoor concert...

one of the highlights of the trip
were penny's
bacon and egg muffins..

they were fantastic with maple syrup

(don't grandma "j"s

dishes look beautiful)?

i also added powered sugar...

~~~~~~

as my handsome husband would say

"a good time was had by all"!

when you guys post pics on instagram,

it allows me to put them on here

so thanks!

so it looks like i might be getting me

one of those "grand babies"

you all keep talking about:)

i am thrilled...


also if you will notice for the month of august i have changed the book to "shadow of night"
the sequel to "a discovery of witches".
it just came out and we loved that book so much, we could not wait until october to read it so,
if you have not read 
"a discovery of witches"
this would be a great time
to do so and then read the sequel...
