When the cold hits Grand Prairie

Well, we have definitely dipped the mercury to a new yearly low as of today, and it looks to be getting colder. What better opportunity to prepare cold weather comfort fare for serving inside the new ice shanty we've installed on the pool surface.

At first, Libby wasn't too thrilled with the view, but once we sampled some of the fresh fish dishes prepared in the shanty's saloon dining area, everything was just dandy. Avery's taken to playing the pie-ah-nee (as he likes to call it) in the saloon, working for tips and sarsaparillas, and Meredith is now going by the name of Miss Lilly, and keeping the peace by luring the rowdies outside so Cam can wallop em with a chair.

Never quite thought the whole SJ clan could pull off such an enterprise, but I guess cold weather brings out the adventure in us all. Cheers to SJ Nation, hook em horns, and Happy 2010!
