I fell into a Burning Ring of Fire

I know this blog is out of order, but we went through quite an ordeal trying to put together our Halloween party that I feel that it deserves to be blogged about. For Halloween Alicia and I thought it would be a good idea, since we have no cute kids to dress up, to through a party and movie night at the house we were house sitting for. We had originally planned for a fondue extravaganza but when we actually thought about the amount of money that involves we went back to the drawing board. We finally decided that we were going to do Tin Foil dinners like you use to do as a boy scout. This meal consist of ground meat of your choice, generic all blend seasoning, carrots, potatoes that have been microwaved for 6 minutes with a little bit of water to soften them, and onions for more flavor. Next you place the dinner wrapped in foil on hot coals for 15 to 20 minutes and wallah you have a Tin Foil dinner. The dinner was a blast, my whole family, Dustin and Stephany, and Chris and Kendra showed up. My favorite part was breaking up the ambers with my brother. We couldn't seem to do the job with the fire poke, so we tried a sledge hammer instead. Not such a good idea, if you look closely enough in the picture you can see where Tyler missed and hit the brick and broke it off. All this was done while i was trying to say "Watch out, be sure not to hit any of the bricks."It wouldn't have been a family outing if something didn't brake as a result of Tyler or I being there. It was a blast for all that attended. We followed up dinner with a movie called; "The man who new too much" by Alfred Hitchcock.

Fun With Chris & Kendra

In the beginning of the month Drew and I were able to go spend the weekend in San Diego with our friends Kendra & Chris. It was soooo fun spending the weekend with them. The best part was when we went to Sea World on Saturday.

We were feeling a little warm (it was only like 78 degrees outside) so we thought it would be a good idea to go on the rapid ride to cool down a bit. Everyone we saw that got off the ride was a little moist but nothing too major. That wasn't the case for us, when we were 0n the ride we got soaked to the bone!!! We could not figure out how those people we saw before the ride were hardly wet and we were completely drenched? Oh yeah did I mention I was wearing a white T-shirt not such a bright idea. haha

Kendra and I froze all afternoon!!! We went to the Shamu show the boys sat in the soak zone while Kendra and I sat up in the sun.

The Shamu Show was cool to watch because it always amazes me how they can take an animal of that size and teach it to perform such detailed tricks. I also loved watching Chris and Drew get wet in the soak zone.


Real men eat sugar!


I can't remember who's idea it was , but we some how decided that a towel bra was the next needed accessory at the Sea World nik nak store. Here's our prototype:


All said and done, Sea World is still a place where you can be a kid. Thanks Chris and Kendra for the fun weekend!
