Our hike took 5 hours plus the time we spent at the lake and driving. We arrived home at 2pm exhausted, in need of showers, with 2 1/2 hours before guests arrived for dinner. We powered through, even though my legs felt like Jello, and had a really nice cook out.
Grandma Denna, Jack & Robin, James & Joy all joined us along with Diana who stayed the whole weekend and helped cook.
James, from Elko & a Grade 2 Piper, generously played for us after dinner. We heard clapping and cheering from other backyard groups around the neighborhood.
I made this to entertain the kids, but it actually turned out to be delicious, too. Lemon juice and zest in white cake, raspberry and cream filling with lemon juice in the frosting and, of course the beautiful berries. I am so bad at making the layers even and frosting it! Good thing it was tasty.
Diana reprised her raspberry pie, this time studded with blueberries. Amazing.
After dinner we went to Thanksgiving Point to spend the evening playing Frisbee, throwing a football, chatting with the many friends and neighbors we saw there and watching fireworks. We were completely exhausted, Diana dangerously so, but we definitely maximized the holiday and enjoyed all the best things about living in this beautiful, wonderful country.
