Happy Fourth of July

Jim and I watched a movie tonight. It was a good chick flick,a sniffle here and there from the both of us. We tried to watch the movie as Sydney kept coming in and asking for us to go "Fireworking" as Jim bought him a few Roman Candles and colored sparklers. After the movie I sprayed each of us down with bug spray. Jim lit one candle and Sydney went screaming for the back yard gate. The fire scared him. I hate the noise. There was enough smoke in the air from neighbors fireworks to eliminate any bug, critter or any creatures that lurk in the night away for miles into the countryside for the next 2 days. And humidity. Did I mension I hate the heat? We come in the house and turn on the weather channel, a trip next week had me interested in the states that I will be going to. I hear,"Seattle having trouble getting out of the 60's". I was internally screaming,"WHY DID I EVER LEAVE THE COOLNESS OF WASHINGTON?"

What Constitutes A Trail Mix?

Now I like to think that every once-in-a-while I give Sydney something good to eat for snacks. But this my parental friends this is a great one for adults. Who cannot resist graham cracker cookies shaped like a bee, yummy miniature chocolate bears with cute belly buttons and yogurt covered raisins? And do not forget the mini pretzels either.
Sydney and I ate this on our last trip, one box and one hour later......going going gone. Now all that is missing is the M&M's.
This is one that is great for anyone who can chew the raisins, numbing with the gums is only allowed with persons over the age of 30.
