Andrew.

Goodbye trampoline. All 20 minutes of jumping were worth every bounce. I almost canceled our Craigslist buyers on their way over. What a great workout!! But alas, the trampoline is now gone.

TrampBlog

I swear the jumping started before the beer consumption!

IMG_1211Blog

Andrew, Matt’s super cute younger brother, is here for the week! Welcome, Brain!

IMG_1214Blog

So of course we celebrated – with Karen – at Beer Run tonight

I started with a Bluegrass Brewing Bourbon Barrel Stout – an old faithful [half pint]

IMG_1213Blog

IMG_1219Blog

And ended with Brooklyn Chocolate Stout [also a 10 oz]

IMG_1221Blog

For dinner we all consumed copious amounts of salad topped with roasted butternut squash and walnuts

IMG_1225Blog

And split a giant platter of Beer Run Nachos – the best!!! [Except for the 5 raw onions I found inside..]

IMG_1224Blog

Have a great pre-holiday weekend!! I have a feeling our holiday has begun and will last more than a week : )

    Congrats on parting with the trampoline. I used to love them when I was a kid but as an adult…the space that they would take up would not be worth it…then again, I dont even have a yard. I have a balcony 🙂

    Beer run nachos look mighty good right about now!

        My girls had a trampoline & a neighbor kid jumped on it while we were gone and cut his chin open. Stitches and $$$. Liability for sure unless you can keep the neighbors kids out.

    You’re a pretty skilled photographer while jumping on that trampoline! I would fail and probably only manage to snap pictures of my foot…or a tree. HA! It’s a shame more restaurants don’t serve roasted butternut squash over salad, it’s the most delicious way to eat it!

      ‘Cause I really like dark beers. I really don’t like yellow ones – except for some IPAs and some Belgian beers. You’ll never see me drinking a Bud Light, Coors, etc. unless it’s an emergency – or a frat party! They have so little flavor.

          Maybe a little acquired. See if you can find a beer tasting in your town and go try some out. I like them high alcohol, thick and malty. Barleywines are my favorite!
