Ella trudging across Fossil Springs
She just wanted to play in the waterthe whole time we were there.
She especially loved the white water,which almost swept us away a few times
It was worth the hike: 4 miles in and 4 miles out.
Boys will be boys
Boys....will be boys! As Dallas walked up to the
fire with a cup of gasoline, I knew that this was one
of those Kodak moments waiting to happen.
That shed on the left-hand side caught on
fire, to which Dallas looked up in surprise and
said, "Get some water!!" not realizing the water
hose right next to him. Fortunately, it was just
the gasoline that had ignited and it quickly evaporated
off of the shed, leaving no damage.
Our next adventure involved Dallas & I,
a Live Animal Trap (for catching squirrels),
& Pepe le Pew! We were all sitting around the fire
that night, roasting mallows & toastites when, "WHAM!!"
We heard our cage snap quickly upon our prey! This
resulted in a very stinky night, a useless attempt to
dig its way out, a futile attempt by Cory the Skunk
Whisperer, and Dallas finally sneaking up to it with
a .22 6-shooter revolver and a pellet to the head from me
immediately after. We learned our lesson though;
the next night we set a Skunk trap, which is too
small for a skunk to lift up its tail to spray if
it is trapped inside!!!!!
Luckily no one got sprayed, and the kids wereable to bathe with water and not oatmeal.
