Stepping Out of the Boat

During the Roth's visit, we went to Lake Monroe. Apparently, geodes cannot be found in or around Angola, Indiana. Because of that odd fact, the Roths are completely fascinated the pretty, but common rocks. We spent quite a while on the shores of Lake Monroe digging geodes out of the sand and smashing them open with other rocks. The Roths took some choice specimen home with them for their rock garden. This picture is of John and Joe digging the mother of all geodes out of the sand.

After a long day of shopping, digging, and swimming, we went to the Irish Lion - an Irish pub - for dinner. Nothing washes down a good lamb burger like beer, so John and Joe decided to share a "yard of beer." In reality, they only got a half-yard. They had enough difficulty drinking out of the half-yard glass. I can't imagine how they would have managed a glass twice as tall.















There's nothing like a good Irish beer!! (Actually I think they ordered German wheat ale.)
