So we had a busy June. We spent most of June in Pennsylvania, Utah, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, NorthCarolina, and Kentucky. During the month of June I also rode my bike 3x
went camping 2x, built a backsplash 1x, Gained +1 sister, got on National TV 1x, and probably also gained some weight.
Here are some pictures to back up my alibi...
The bridge on the way out of Ohio.
A campsite in Virginia.
A Tennessee caterpillar.
A pig ride in North Carolina.
Our garden after being gone for 2 weeks.
My muscles out in the woods.
Grandpa got a 4-wheeler.
Nicole and Niece.
Riding the lift at Sundance.
Again on the lift...
We went hiking in the mountains...
Dressed like twinners...
Decorated a car with...
- Balloons
- Streamers
- Confetti
- Saran Wrap
- Chocolate Sauce
- Tin Foil
- Hot Dogs
- Soda Cans (full)
- More Confetti
- Dolls
- Markers
- Ladies' Dainties
- Nerf Guns
- A few other things
Actually I'm going to take another minute on this one because I am particularly proud of it. My younger brother, of course, knew ahead of time that we were going to decorate his car, but we were only "allowed" to do the outside (as if one's permission matters in such circumstances, like asking "Can I pull your unconscious body from this burning car?"--It doesn't matter what the answer is, there are just certain unwritten rules in life that transcend personal preference--Nathan gets confetti in his AC vents, end of story.) Anyway, Nathan was less than willing to give us his keys at the reception. Foreseeing that he would be an unwilling accomplice in his own demise, we decided to take preventive action. While in the shower, we took his keys to Walmart to make a copy. Unfortunately, because Nathan's car posses slightly more advanced anti-theft technology than
Super-Beast (the car requires a special chipped key to start instead of just a screwdriver), we could not get a copy made. So plan-B was even better. Eric also drives a Mazda, so using some voodoo off the internet (very similar to left-right-left-right-up-down-a-b-select-start, but with car doors and the vehicle ignition), we reprogrammed Nathan's car to accept Eric's key fob. The best part of the whole experience was when Nathan realized that we had not just decorated his car, but that we had somehow decorated the inside of his car as well.
...Then we cleaned up....
We went karting also...
Anyway, it was a very successful month. But we're really happy to be home, although we're really sad to be out of vacation days.
