Father's day weekend

We had lunch at Smoky Mountain Brewery. It's one of the Callhoun's restaurants, where they make their own beer. Great food, best bbq in the world, and awesome steaks. Just ask Grace. Jack is back there practicing his stacking skills.




Luke likes wings, but not as much as he likes ranch dressing.

Just across the street was an Imax. We took the kids to see Toy Story 3. 3d has never looked so good.


We have a squirrel problem. They like to steal our green tomatoes and eat the seeds. They have gotten a dozen or so. We are building a cage for the garden with chicken wire. It will double as a greenhouse when it gets cold again. Jack was very helpful digging the holes for the posts. He also was crawling around in the basement with me for a couple of hours, putting up plastic sheeting to keep out moisture in the main room down there. He worked his butt off, and I couldn't have done it without him.

Happy Father's Day, Travis! That place looks yummy. I especially like the ranch dressing! Ian is the same way with any dip or butter.
Your garden looks great. We have so many pests (moles, rabbits, squirrels, turtles) I'm afraid to start anything. They already eat all of our pears from the tree. Maybe chicken wire would help.
And thirdly: You look like you were born and bred in the smokies with that beard!
