Beer, otters and grandsons

[ntsammy5]

I don't think we've ever had a thread like this before and the otters are kind of upset that they are being ignored so here goes!

I'm working from home today and have been at it since 6AM so I decided to start drinking a beer right now!

The otters want to join us in Epcot during the GG Beer Tour, but they have trouble getting past security - maybe we can smuggle some in with us. By the way do we start in Canada or Mexico? I usually start in Canada, but either is fine with me.

When we were in Mooresville last week (we honked on the way by Amy (sorry Ami) & John), we took some pictures. Surprise! The baby has discovered that when a camera is pointed at him a bright light flashes so he squints his eyes!

And the 4th one went camping for the first time a couple of weeks ago (3 months old) and had a good time swimming - he's a chunk (the daughter is well on her way to losing all the wight she gained - runs 5 miles every other day or more):

We usually start at The Rose and Crown Pub.

Welsh Dragons. MMMMMMMMMM


Ingredients

3/4 ounce peach schnapps
3/4 ounce melon liqueur
1/2 ounce green crème de menthe
to taste orange juice
to taste pineapple juice
Method of preparation:

Mix all ingredients together, blending well. Pour over ice. Enjoy!


I say go a little light on the creme de menthe.

I like Canadian beer and don't care for Mexican, so I don't care if I can't taste the Mexican beer but want to be able to enjoy the Canadian, so my vote is for Canada first and progress in a counter clockwise direction. Plus I want to have some cheese soup.

No matter how you try to explain it drinking beer from home is not work !!!

nice looking family there.

Is that Mooresville NC and how was the traffic/parking lot at 150 and 77.

My family moved out of there. The Traffic just got so bad you couldn't get anywhere

[ntsammy5]

Yeah Jeff, that exit is absolutely crazy especially since they put in all the shoppingj unk towards Lake Norman!

The only time we hit that intersection is coming and going -the kids have lived there since 2001 so we've been going for a while - my daughter's a city engineer for Mooresville. It's amazing how quickly the development stopeed last Fall - go figure. Race week is the worst though - they used to live in apartment off Talbert - then we couldn't avoid it.

Al, adorable grandkids!!

As for smuggling in the otters, ARE YOU CRAZY?! They could very well drink all the beer in EPCOT, leaving none for us! I say, drop them off at Wilderness Lodge instead!

Actually she's only had one and is only 28 and has run all her life and done a couple of marathons - she's also a PT so she's in tune with keeping fit.

The older one is 34 and has had 3 - another story all together - she just started working out again - first time since college! :lmao:

Yes it is and it is a great tasting beer. I like it, but I don't like the cost. It's twice as expensive as Molson or LaBatts, but costs about the ame as Harp or Moosehead or most of the micro brews. Ah well, life is too short to drink cheap beer. :drinking1
