Father's Day Fishing Trip

For Father's Day this year, I took Ted on a Fishing Trip with his buddy to Gross Reservoir. Save the jokes. Heard them all.

I was thinking, I'll bring a book, a drink, and sun along the shore while the men fished. So I wore flip-flops. 2 miles later on rugged terrain, we reached our "spot". Never again will I wear flip-flops to go fishing. Ever. Never. Ever.

But the scenery was beautiful!

Once the men were settled, I settled down and enjoyed a book and a beverage in the warm, yummy sun. Shocking, I know.

Then, when it was time to cool off, Ted thought it was a GRAND idea to try his hand at log rolling. Yup. Didn't work out too well.

Not that you are suppose to be in the reservoir - it is actually Denver's Water - NO STINKY BODIES ALLOWED! - Pete and I went in. He splashed me. I dunked him.

After a few hours and NO FISH later, we trekked back up the trail and headed out.

OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR

Bucket List #...Hmmm...I guess that is such a From a Person's Point of View thing, that I guess I really don't know how to rate it.

Gross Week - Summer Theme Week

I know, I know, it was suppose to be Space Week - just roll with the punches.

It's Gross Week - Fart Noises - oh yes, we're going there.

Everybody knows how to make arm pit farts, but have you ever made fart sounds using a straw and your arm pit. Well, watch and learn.



Of course, they HAD to try it!




And why not make/eat edible snot? Yup. Snot. That's edible. (Well, we all know that kids think REAL snot is edible, but I digress).

Gather your supplies:

Cornstarch, Vanilla Extract, Green Food Coloring, a can of Sweetened Condensed Milk

Mix the cornstarch and condensed milk together and heat until thickened. Then add the flavoring and the food coloring. Let it cool. And let the snot eating begin.

While we're at it, we might as well eat some bloody band aides for lunch, too!

NEXT WEEK: Dinosaur Week

Lazy Summer Day

Bucket List: #2

Of course, watching T.V. or playing the iPad would #1 for them, but this runs a close second!

Paddle Boarding

I want a Paddle Board.

Bucket List: #1 (at least for me)

I don't have upwards of $1000, so renting will just have to do until then...
