Karen and Katie Beth are enjoying their treats. I couldn’t have better Valentine’s.

Now, I’m taking my ladies to their favorite place for dinner: Bandito Buritto.

We have been checking out rocks and making splashes with them in the creek. We even heard an owl, but it went quite when we got too close.

We found an old broken electrical insulator from a telephone pole.

The Big Green egg has been working overtime and so has Karen with trips to Earth Fare.

We are having five different chicken wing recipes and smoked deer loin. We have layered dips and chips. A great selection of beer is on the way, too.

The weather is wonderful today making for a great day to play outside while working the smoker and play with Katie Beth.

Update: Jay Kissell brought a Sierra Nevada’s Sierra 30th Anniversary Ale bomber to share. My dad brought Founders’ Breakfast Stout and Founders’ Centennial IPA. And, we cracked open the Jay’s previous gift of a Cigar City Brewing’s Humidor Series Indian Pale Ale. They were all every enjoyable during the game.
