Baer and I got our first taste of "parenthood" when we became Kendall's godparents. It was a really great ceremony. Thanks Chuck and Alli! I got to go first to put the oil on Kendall's forehead, once she figured out what was going on she wouldn't let Baer get his turn in.
Baer and I decided to go for a hike the afternoon of the wedding. We found a really nice area, but there were a lot of signs out about wearing day glo orange because it was hunting season. For safety we were looking up if hunting was allowed on Sundays. Once we crossed the RI/Conn dam though we had to look up the next state's information. I decided we were safe to walk around the pond and I just periodically yelled out. "I'm not a deer, I'm a human" to warn hunters. It worked, we did not get shot.
The Lord Thompson Manor was amazing, they had fire pits with blankets you could sit with to keep warm, minks to wear outside if you were chilly. The food was great.
We had a wedding in CT over Halloween weekend. Baer and I stayed in a very neat bed and breakfast in Putnam. It was named Whitehaven Inn if anyone is interested. Here are Carmen and Katya on one of their trips around the alter.
There was a near disaster when they had kegs of Spaten and Dinkel Acker, but the tap was not the right one. Luckily, the correct system showed up and quite a system it was.
Baer borrowed an authentic german beanie from Dan for the night.
