Our Weekend Getaway

We went to my folks beach house this weekend and much fun was had by all. It was cold and snowy on Friday and Saturday and of course it was beautiful and sunny on Sunday, the day we left. The driveway was snowed in so we were stuck leaving our car at the road and walking nearly a half a mile to my folks house with a suitcase, food and a dog.
But a nice fire awaited us at the end.
And a lovely sunset on Saturday evening can't be argued with.
What's this that Seamus sees? Why it's a heard of deer right outside the back porch, less than 10 feet from the house. Needless to say, Seamus was very bothered by the giant dogs, they didn't seem interested in playing with him.
And with that we leave you with some other shots taken on Sunday morning. Notice that as the day gets older the lake looks like one might actually enjoy swimming in it.

And thus ends our little weekend getaway. We can't wait to have everyone come up for a visit this summer. I see a Birn beach day coming in June or July.

Y'all didn't shoot any deer? That's hardly any fun. I can just picture you sitting on the porch with a rifle, randomly picking off deer.

Ohh, deer huntin at the Birn's. Let's go! Deer are beautiful, nice to look at, etc., until it you hit one, and it destroys your car.
