Annual Trip to M

We had an awesome time. The weather kind of, sort of cooperated. It worked out in our favor, because the rain we did get, kept things cool. I took a lot of pictures, but I'll only post some of my favorites. If you're interested in seeing the rest - email me and I'll send you the album link.

We stopped at a historical fort on our way to M:

Our sweet little old lady tour guide explained "hoops" to us. But, she called it "hups." I had no idea that J was a natural at "hups." He is like the master of the "hups" universe. I had no idea his talents ran so deep. The whole time he ran around, F laughed his head off in the backpack.

After the fort, we made our way down to M and fun times ensued.

Critters:

This is a called a Jerusalem Cricket. It was really really creepy looking.

Launching Rockets - my 3 most favorite people ever.

My stepdad was finishing up his rocket the night before this picture was taken. He was trying to get the lid off the bottle of superglue, but it was glued on. I heroically offered to get the lid off for him and used my teeth to do so. In the process of being totally awesome - i glued my lips together. Seriously. J was yelling at me to keep my mouth open while the glue dried. I did my best but the corner of my mouth was done for. I spent the next 24 hours trying to rub dried super glue off my lips. It still is really irritating. That's the last time I attempt that little trick.

Uncle R brought a "stomp rocket" toy. C and F loved it. Here's a video of F:

Until next year . . . .
