Summer Gieseler Visit: Day 3

Thursday, July 29th, we went on a family rafting trip on the Deschutes River with a company, River Drifters. We didn't take cameras/phones because we didn't want to break or lose them. So we don't have any photos of the actually rafts/trip. Just a few from the ride there and back.

My oldest - I love her. She's strong and independent. She doesn't try to be someone she's not. She's true to herself.

It was a fun experience for all the kids to do together. :)

We had two rafts. Josh, Rhoda, Summer, Melanie, Luke, Evan, Sierra and Jack were on one raft. Adam, Rachel, me, Addie, Autumn, Kylee, and Jordan were on the other raft.

We packed a picnic lunch of chicken salad sandwiches, chips, grapes, granola bars and soda and ate at a park after we got back from rafting.

For dinner: We had cheeseburgers, potato salad and baked beans at home. Rachel made brownie sundaes for Kylee's birthday which was that day.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

Happy birthday to my husband, Eric! He turns 45 today. I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami. I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno. We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders. I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.

(I cut the chicken breasts in half to make thinner.). Season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and garlic salt until combined. In another bowl, combine the crackers and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan. Dredgs each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then in the cracker mixture, and set the chicken aside on a plate.
