happy weekend

A three day weekend.

One of my favorite things....ever.

We loaded up for another road trip.

I got slugged bugged about 100 times.

Don't ever teach the game slug bug to your kids.

You will not get them

99/100 times they will get you.

Even if they have to crawl over 2 seats to make it happen.

They can see them or smell them from 10 miles away.

I also had a dangerous encounter with a toe eating fish.

It bit me three times before I realized that's what was hurting my toe.

That crazy bass fish was b-lining toward me at supersonic speeds.

With it's mouth wide open. Pretty much similar to jaws.

I've never been bitten by a fish...and it was not a nibble...ahhhh!

It was so scary/funny. I don't know which one comes first.

I also lost my sunglasses on a hike up a raging river.

I liked those sunglasses they had perfect lenses that made my

skins winter whiteness turn to a beautiful bronze tan-ness. Just like magic.

I realize it was only an illusion but It was one I liked.

This trip felt like summer. It should be summer...right? Nope another illusion

My kids have to go back to school. (boo!)

And it's hard to get them in bed on time these days.

I give it a real good try, well sort of anyway.

So... even if I am missing part of my toe.

It was a perfect way to get a taste of summery goodness right around the corner.

Sunshine, water, redrocks, family, friends.

Amazing. Beautiful. Times.

I am grateful.
