a day at the raSes

Last weekend I had the privilege of some wonderful company. Meet Faith, Luke and Rebecca, the best nieces and nephew on the planet...

Remember that gorgeous sunshine we had (close your eyes and try real hard)? The kids decided it was the perfect day for a boat race. We turned a little of this...

into some spectacular watercraft...

This was no paltry boat race. We had to test our watercraft for airtightness. Fill out official entry forms. Name our boats. Pass a physical (ok, maybe not the physical but everything else is true)...

There was a formal ceremony before the race began. Including a speech, taking bows and applause (I think a few bets were made behind the scenes)...

Let's not forget the celebrity photo ops...

and we're off...

After alot of shouting, running and cheering...

along with a few technical difficulties and accusations of cheating...

We made it to the finish line...

A clear winner could not be determined on account of the cheating...

It was a great day at the races or is that rases, no it's races, rases, races, you decide!!!

Enchante

Every day is Valentine's Day at Enchante this month!!!

If Enchante looks familiar, I did a post on the shop last fall. Enchante is always changing with the seasons which requires a regular visit just to see what's new!!! Meet Kim, Enchante's owner...

The abundance of candy, chocolates and popcorn will have you drooling the second you step in the door of her charming shop...

Not only are the chocolates and popcorn made right in the shop, but many of these gorgeous gift items are hand crafted by Kim as well...

This is a shop to love...love...love...

Where is this fantastic place you ask?!
