All the way to Buffalo....

Hello from the land of Buffalo Wings! We just wanted to post a little note to let everyone know who is still following the family here on the site that we made it to Buffalo just fine and are now staying a few days with our friends Paul, Katherine, Gracie and Zoe Marcus.

Paul and I played golf today at a very nice local course in Rochester and the weather was nice enough to hold off the rain and grant us a little sunshine for an 18 hole round. The wind was brisk and cool for an 8:00 am tee time, but the coffee, Kahlua and Irish Whiskey made the round a pure delight! After a disastrous opening 9 holes in which we both played like the hacks we are, the golf gods shined on us and allowed a respectable back 9. I finished with a 38 on the back and an 85 overall which I will still say is respectable since we played in what sometimes seemed like a weakened hurricane force wind!

After golf the girls turned the kids over to us and they hit the trail shopping (damage estimate is yet unknown so I will report that later....), but we made the best of it! Paul and I loaded the girls into the van and headed over to Powers Farms to view the pumpkin maze, the haunted tee-pees and the kiddie zoo! Savannah needs more blue jeans and workboots because she would NOT stay out of the mud! Savannah loved the animals, especially the wild turkey (the bird, not the alcohol!) and all the girls got a real giggle out of the gobble the turkey let out! Now although I cannot post it here, Savannah chased a little chicken that had escaped from its pen back and forth for about 5 minutes as she was bounded and determined to catch it! Dinner anyone?

Well, that's about it for now, the girls are back from shopping and they are having trouble getting the bags in the door so Paul and I had better go help (I am going for the credit cards!). Ill post more later! Till then.....

Mike (the drive was short but straight), Ann Marie (god that jacket looks good on me) and Savannah (let me play in the mud!) Kennedy
