I’m not sure this photo truly captures the excitement of badminton – I’ll work on my badminton photographing skills for next time! :)
We spent the evening at Jamie & Ryan’s (unfortunately without Ryan, who was visiting family in the UK) – the boys playing badminton while I provided color commentary, grilling dinner, and chatting with friends around the fire pit. It was a pretty perfect summer evening.

I have fallen very behind in blogging, and am going to try not to spam you feed readers while I back post – hopefully I can stick with my plan and get a post or two up each day this week to catch me up. And then I can fall behind again and re-spam you when I have another handful of posts piled up! ;)
Nilay’s bridal shower was two days after we all returned from vacation together, so we all had a few days to unpack, scrub off the layers sunblock and bug spray and put on our Sunday best!

We’ve been taking group photos on our vacations for a while now (2009, 2007) but this year the kiddos weren’t really feeling it. This was my favorite of the bunch!
Of course we couldn’t leave without taking a photo in front of the Caboose that Pete and I slept in all week, even if it was raining.

When Groupon posted a deal for Shabu Restaurant, of course we bought it. And I made sure Anna and Alex saw it, too, because they love Shabu-shabu as much as we do (I think at least half of the emails Anna and I send each other have the subject “swish swish” because we’re making plans to get together for shabu). Obviously we invited them to go with us to use ours.
As usual, Pete and Alex picked the craziest sounding Sake they could find on the menu. I don’t think they have managed to find a more entertaining one than the Poochi-Poochi Nigori Sake from our first visit, but I guess you can’t expect ridiculously translated labels on every sake bottle.

I got together with some friends for dinner, and the kiddos had a good time playing trains before dinner.
