Over The Weekend

This weekend was fabulous. We traded in our TrailBlazer for a Nissan Titan and we are loving it. The cab is spacious and there is plenty of room for our "someday" 4 wheeler. Paul has been wanting a truck for a long time and I was never convinced I was a truck person--well move over "Grave Digger" I am ready to rally our Titan through a flaming hoop and over 20 cars! This bad boy will make for some fun camping adventures. But I don't want to see any scratches or dirt on my new baby, so that could pose a problem!
Saturday night we went to the Harvest Days fireworks. We were sitting, chatting, waiting for the show....and all of the sudden it was a war zone! We all screamed and kind of ducked for cover as the fireworks were being launched about 20 yards from us. The fiery boom was enough to make my nieces and nephews huddle up together and Knuckles climb up my face. With a scratched forehead, I winced at the brightness of the fireworks directly over my head. BOOM! POW! BAM! Like old school Batman! This went on for what seemed like forever, none of us sure how much "fun" it really was to be so close...and then for the grand finale, a nearby tree caught fire and the show was stopped early.

On Sunday, we headed up to Echo Lake with family and spent all day in the mud and water. Knuckles was waste deep in mud having the best time. We got to go out on the boat and soaked up the sun -literally- because our smart selves didn't bring sun screen. We towed the tube around and everyone took turns flying off. It was a really fun day; I need to remember to bring my camera on these outings.
