Beware!

Watch out for hungry family members with knives...

Where the Wild Things Are.

Exciting dont you think?

Sacrifice

So, I sacrificed my ability to hike by loaning my sleeping bag to Woodworker and my sleeping pad to Cassidy. So it looks like I wont be cold and wet with Chris this weekend. I do kinda feel bad because 30 mph winds might make the newbies a little misrable. :) But hey they will be out living life and I won't. And yes, I know I am really a novice too.

Lori's birthday party.

So, Lori decided she wanted to go rollerskating for her birthday with about 50

family members and friends...

A funny thing with me up on these for the first time in 24 or so years...

Niece Josephine got in on the action.

As did nephew Ethan. Here he is trying out his skates...

After realizing I could still skate, I switched from the regular skates to speed skates. The problem was the left one pulled hard to the left and the right one pulled hard to the right and the shoes dug into my ankles so I made another switch and somehow I ended up on these.

Suprisingly I didn't do to bad.

All in all a good time was had by all including Lori even after she fell and bounced her head off the floor giving herself a black eye. She is fine though. She had an MRI and everything looked ok.

Dice...

So, Aaron and I were throwin dice and of course he busts out with this. This is 10,000. He wins.

Spokane Shock

Debbie and I went to the preseason Shock game last night. Had front row seats in the end zone. It was a good game. We won. All in all a good time. The obese woman behind my head with the cowbell all night, not so cool...

Ethan

So I spent Saturday hanging out with my nephew Ethan. As you can see, he is a little ham for the camera.
