Pond Party

We had a great time at the Pond Party yesterday. It was a beautiful sunny day. After crossing the pond, it was time for lunch.

Ann: "Dan and Sadie, do you want a hamburger, a cheeseburger or a hot dog for lunch?"
Sadie: "I wanna hamburger."

We were suspicious because Sadie has never had a hamburger. I was going to get her a hot dog which I know she likes but while Dan pulled her around on her sled while I waited for the food, she kept asking "Where's ma hamburger?" So I got her one.
yummy hamburger
Sadie ate the entire hamburger in about 5 minutes. She loved it. Last summer, we offered her hamburgers, but she never ate them.

Later, we got samples of 'sugar on snow', which is warm maple syrup poured over snow.

Sadie liked it, but asked after her first bite, "Where's the pancakes?" Then, she became very possessive of her yummy treat.
i love the sugar on snow

But her favorite thing of all was the ice slide.
Mommy and Sadie wait for a turn:

about to slide
There she goes!
whee!
Daddy was there to catch her at the bottom.

Looks like a fabulous time! Our town has a winter festival next weekend, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the weather co-operates!

I am so impressed that Sadie ate an entire hamburger. Madeline won't yet eat the bun and patty together ...
