Burgers in Paradise

Marty and Lizzie went on a run this morning.

Emi cried for half a second and then was just fine playing with me and Dan.

I love that she is so comfortable with us! 

We're pretty sure she said Kershaw. But she does say "doggie" and point at him.

We're still working on Grandma and Grandpa.

We went to town today to look in all the shops on Main Street.

(I really think they're missing the boat not having a candy store and a shake shack on the street.

We should try the Malt Shoppe again for shakes and skip the food.)

Emi is such a good walker, but she also wants to pick up every leaf and piece of trash

she passes, so she didn't get to walk as independently as she may have liked!

We tried to eat lunch at the Thai place, but it was closed.

Good thing, because we found the most amazing burgers EVER!

Sage is definitely worth a trip to town for their Smashburgers (one patty is plenty, they're huge!)

and their green chili fries with chunks of thick slab bacon and roasted pork were U mA Zing!

Friendly service, open interior, several picnic tables outside too and clean enough 

that we didn't mind letting Emi pick up rocks under the table.

(They had high chairs too.)

It's between new town and old town and we weren't sure about the location,

but we'll be back. My mouth is still watering!

We noticed a big fire in the mountains east of town and on our way home, another fire just west of town.

Please appreciate Emi's face when I took my phone away from her 

so I could show Marty and Lizzie a funny Reel.

We roped Marty and Lizzie into helping with some chores

to close down camp for the winter (bring in all the adirondacks,

take down the hanging couch,

put away couch cushions and move furniture to the windows away from potential snow drifts,

and Marty helped Dan winterize the ATV's, Ranger and Bronco.

We rewarded them with more leftovers. 😂

But we also had a campfire, s'mores,

and games of Azul and Qwirkle tonight (I won both!) It was a good night.
