My mom and the coy pond


I've had a few people ask me why the coy pond at the Karl Strauss Brewery will forever haunt my mother. So for those who weren't there or didn't see it- here's why!

When you enter the restaurant, you walk through a lush garden, and then over the bridge crossing the coy bond, and then you are in the outdoor seating area. Our table was right on the deck, looking over the water.

So we walk in, everyone is arriving and saying hello to one another, and somehow my mom ends up with Ferdi Jr, my 19 month old Godson. It's not entirely clear what exactly happens, but she put him down for just a second, and that little booger jetted off for the pond!

Soon his dad is jumping over chairs and pushing people out of the way so that he can get to his quick moving little boy. Little did he know that there were wires and fencing all around the perimeter of the lake! So even if Jr. tried, he wouldn't be able to go in.

So in the end, the bobby (baby) was never really in any danger. But for just moment, we were all panicked by Ferdi Sr. running after his son like there was no tomorrow!!!
