On Friday night, we went to James Arthur vineyard for a wine tasting. It was a beautiful night and it was so much fun walking around drinking wine and eating appetizers. My favorite wine was the Red Ibis while Simon enjoyed the Nebraska Red. We also found out that we both like Jambalaya. Probably the most comical par the this whole thing was when Simon was brewing beer with some of the guys the next day and pulled out the map of the vineyard to show "what we did the night before."
Afterwards we went to the Huckabees, to help celebrate Bailey's birthday...she turned 17, which makes me feel older for some reason. Simon's grandparents were there and we talked about our favorite movies and books. I am going to miss all of them, they make me feel like part of their family whenever I am around them.
We saw Ocean's 13 on Saturday night, I loved it and was laughing out loud several times during the movie. I think Matt Daemon probably cracked me up the most...I won't give away why.
Yesterday, we went over to the Becker's for a real BBQ. Alan smoked beef and pork in a wholemade ceramic smoker and grilled salmon. It was incredible. We also learned a new hobby of Alan's the bean bag game. This game consists of two boards with holes in them and four bean bags per team. You throw the bean bags at the boards to get points. one point for getting on the board, three points for getting in the hole. It sounds simple, but yesterday I learned bean bag is a game of strategy and high concentration. What can I say...we are still in Nebraska....and games like this make our weekends fun.
