5 more days till halloween! my favorite holiday is almost here!
i know i’ve been absent from this blog for a while. can’t really say why, because i just don’t know. i have been mostly keeping up on my other blog: kellysfavoritebooks.blogspot.com
that’s the site i’m trying to earn some money on. i’m not succeeding, yet. i really need to come up with some ways to get traffic to the site. i’ll keep working on it.
this has been a busy and fun month. hunter was involved in san clemete stake’s production of “the music man” and it consumed a large chunk of his time. the performances, however, were so much fun! i never took any pictures. darn. silly me, what was i thinking? but, we had a great time. hunter and his friend spencer, ran the lighting for the show. they had a lot of fun together and did an amazing job. it was nice to have hunter be a part of such a worthwhile activity. thank you san clemente stake, for giving hunter this opportunity!
also this month hunter and doug passed the test for their amateur radio operator license. they have the basic level-technician. doug got a small hand-held ham radio last saturday and they are still working on figuring it out. and yes, they are having fun learning. i still don’t understand the point of it, but i’m sure i’ll get it eventually.
on september 20th, hunter and i visited the san juan capistrano mission. he needed to go there to fill a requiremnet for a merit badge. we were very silly that day. neither one of us was very excited about being there, but we had fun anyway. hunter wanted to climb on everything. literally. everything. i had to reign him in several times. i told him i didn’t pay $18 to get kicked out of the mission. here are a few pictures of our visit.
as soon as we walked in we were greeted by this dead rat. he seemed to be saying, “welcome to the mission. don’t drink the water!”
there were two large fish ponds that you could sit next to and see the fish up close and personal. we tried ernie’s way of catching fish by yelling, “heeerrrre fishy fishy fishy!” it worked really well. they flocked right over to us. too bad we didn’t have a boat for them to flop in to.
were the spanish folk really short, or did they just like ducking through doorways?
i said this to hunter so many times and here i am on a wall. is this the wall they meant we shouldn’t climb or is it the one behind the sign? hmmm…
’nuff said.
oooo…he touched the butt! uh, i mean bell. after we took this picture, THEN we noticed the sign that said not to climb up there. oops!
we had fun even though we were both resistant to being there. and the best part is that he got the merit badge! yippee! now we just need to get an eagle project done and we are forever done with scouts! yippee x 10!!!!!!!!
that’s the update for now. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!
