Sunday Drive

Arthur, Nik and Mara at the Lake
Fish in the Pond - Restaurant behind
Yum!, Trout
Cherry Tree Attack
Arthur and I like to take nice Sunday drives, being that Sunday is normally a very quite day for most Greeks so the roads are fairly empty and really the only people you see out are the tourist. So this last weekend we went up to the Lake, we haven't been their in over a year so it was great seeing it again and it was a little cooler up there than here at home, but it was still pretty darn hot. Nik enjoys the outdoors and was sniffing and looking everywhere, the only time he got upset was when Arthur and I left him in the car while we attacked a cherry tree that was right off of the road. He was sleeping peacefully but I guess stopping the movement of the car woke him up, so we only got a small bag load but it was worth the upset and I know that Nik forgot about it in seconds as only babies do. I still remember the time Mom left us at a road stop when we were traveling with Grandpa and Grandma up to Washington, she thought we were with them and they thought we were with her (ALL 3 of us kids). We sat there waiting on the fence for someone to come back and pick us up, do you still feel guilty mom?
Well you don't have to it makes a great story.
I enjoyed great trout, you have to eat trout when you go to these lakes and rivers because it is so fresh. The cook just goes out back and takes a fish out from the pond, whacks it on the head , cleans it up and then puts it on the grill, reminds me of the way we eat when we are up in Washington. Good times.
