Like Mother, Like Daughter

The only other time I've been in Albuquerque other than last month was when I went the summer I turned ten. When we were there I bought a yellow dress in Old Town that I absolutely loved so I decided that this time I'd buy Hannah one.

Trip down memory lane

Today has been a very interesting day. It is so strange to see my kids doing all the things that I used to do as a kid. They fished off the end of the dock here at the house. We went down into Garrison and shopped for souvenirs at the Curio Shop and then we headed over to Roger's house to play in the water and attempt a little more fishing. Lincoln actually caught a bass fish with Jake's fishing pole but it got away. It was a pretty decent size too. I have a picture of that I'll have to post when we get home.

We definitely should have scheduled more time up here at the lake but we'll just have to make sure to come back here again soon. This place is a little bit of heaven and a whole lot of childhood memories.

Making memories the Iowan way

On Saturday night when we were down at the Vineyard Hannah and I volunteered to shuck the corn on the cob for dinner. I actually volunteered to do it because I have fond memories of doing it as a kid in Iowa and Hannah volunteered to help me.

Me: You know Hannah, there is a picture of me and Grandpa Dan doing this on Grandma Lentz's porch when I was a little girl.

Hannah: There is?

Me: Yep.

Hannah: When I grow up, and I have a little girl, I'm going to tell her all about sitting on the porch and shucking corn with my Mommy.

So here we are. Three generations of corn shuckers.
