It has become tradition in our home that if you are being celebrated you have the honor of picking the menu. Yesterday being Father's Day was no exception. The Principal is always so accommodating about what he wants but when June issue of Southern Living arrived and he eye balled this pie recipe it was instantly decided that this would be Father's Day dessert. Peanut Butter-Banana Icebox Pie - wow look out hips here I come!! It was easy, didn't require heating the kitchen up, was made ahead and was a huge hit with the men folk. WonderBoy was quick to deem it 'a keeper'.

We began our fun a day early with a great day Saturday in Manchester, TN Letterboxing and hiking at Old Stone Fort Archaeological State Park. This was our first time at this park but probably won't be our last. The trail is a short one - just 1 1/4 miles but boasts 3 pretty nice water fall to play and frolic in. There is also a museum with some interesting resources to learn about the Indian mounds that this park is structured around. Homeschooling is always in progress even during summer break!
We had limited success in our letterboxing efforts - we searched for 4 boxes and found only 2 of them - both in cemeteries ......which for some weird reason seems to be where we always end up at some point when we are out adventuring. This one was neat - an old family cemetery with some very old stones under a glorious magnolia tree. It has been fenced in and was a short hike off the road in the woods. If not for letterboxing we would never have known it was there.
SO....how was your weekend....did you do anything special? Any fabulous dessert recipes to share?
