Sounds like quite the adventure! Do you share the recipe for whole wheat waffles? They look super yummy!
ReplyDeleteI just can't believe the fireworks start so early. It doesn't even get dark around here until about 10 p.m.
ReplyDeleteWe decided to take a trip to Fallon the first weekend in August. When are you going?
Wow...that made me tired just reading that. I'm glad you had an action packed fun day.
ReplyDeleteThat's one busy day! Sounds like fun- minus the drenched part!
ReplyDelete"Can bombs kill sharks?" Bahahahaha! I love little boys and the curiosities they come up with.
ReplyDeleteYes, the waffles do look delicious! Sounds like you guys had a fun day. Bummer about the rain though! Brody and Destry had a stomach bug hit right as we were heading out to a BBQ.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are able to accomplish a lot in a day.
ReplyDeleteAre you in Utah now?? Can you get together?? I know that you are running the race on Friday and I wanted to see what your schedule is like.
