Wii Theremin - Doctor Who Theme

I was showing Logan Theremin music and this came up. Actually not too bad!

Breakfast of Champions

To hell with Wheaties! Bacon rocks!!!

Forest bandits!

On the way back to Louisville from Taylorsville Lake we stopped to get gas. It was a good bit cheaper than in town. I saw they had firewood! I want in for a cup of (non-instant!) coffee and asked how much they charge for that stack of wood. Ten dollars!!! That is just forest banditry! And they didn't even have fire starters! Its not like I can haul firewood with me! Nuts...

Flowers

After breaking camp, we took a short hike. Our little hike showed us some of the early beauty of spring. We saw frogs, mayapple, dogwoods (I think) and these delicate little flowers.

Lexie's Island

Although there is no water, Lexie calls this spot her "island".

The Whole Gang!

Now Kat is here and we are roasting brats & italian sausage! Next up-marshmallows for Smores!

Lexie...the dead fish catcher

Lexie keeps "catching" dead shad out of Taylorsville Lake....

A boy and his Splott

Logan is borrowing my knife to whittle.

Fire!

We have fire!

Nice neighbors...

We looked all around the park this morning for firewood. This is the first National Park I've been to that has nothing for rent or sale. We found a general store but they were out of wood and had no clue where to get any. I thought maybe a gas station so set the GPS. The closest was still a good distance so I told the kids to look for signs selling wood. After several miles and nothing I pulled in behind a couple in a truck to ask them if they knew where some could be had. They said "follow us we have plenty!" they gave us a whole trunkful of old deck lumber! I ofered to pay and they wouldn't take it.

Logan the little trooper

Lexie often gives up pretty quick and she was ready to sleep in the car...WITH the dog. That was a total veto because he uses pads and is not housebroken! Logan and I worked on the tent and put a tarp up for the dog to sleep under. Lexie helped. Some.

Lexie last night

We were bumbling around pretty good. It took longer to pack than I thought and I didn't have the help of Ms. Kathy The Superorganizer. :) We arrived right at dark and it was still sprinkling. It started a downpour before I could get the tent up. We slept Friday night cold and wet. :(

Camping destoys my apartment

Taking kids camping tonight and tomorrow night!

Water globe thing

Kathy gave me this. Its supposed to help my sad, sad, plant.

Nice car!

This car belongs to a friend of mine. I am happy to see him out in it because he loves it so much!

Don't eat me!

Some of our egg kits came with stickers...

Logan's basket

Each of them got a Webkinz in their basket because somebunny (Kat) loves them. Everybunny should always have somebunny to love 'em on Easter.

Lexie's Basket

We found the kids baskets at the Dollar Tree. I told Kathy "there's no handle and they are square. They dont look much like Easter baskets to me..." and she explained how they could be used later in their rooms to help organize! That sure is my Kat!

Backwards Easter

We did things a little backwards this year. Kat & I hid plastic eggs with candy for the kids to find. Later after the hunt, the kids sat down and we colored the eggs I had boiled the night before. We were up late doing stuff and I forgot to color eggs!

Screw Easter Ham!

We're doing grilld chicken! Happy Easter to all family & friends!

Easter math

Logan is doing the math and adding up the egg tally.

Happy Easter!

Kids have 89 plastic eggs to find. They are doing a pretty good job!
