Howdy Rowdy! Random Stuff about My Family

Welcome back!

Ok — we all know what fasting is, right?  Going without food for a while… it builds inner-strength, has some good health benefits, and is a means to increased spiritual and religious enlightenment.  Well, somtimes kids don’t understand the meaning of words they don’t know; so, they determine the meaning from the context in which they’ve heard it used.  Saturday, as we were about to have an afternoon snack with the kids, Porter pulled up his stool to the counter and looked at his food with wide-eyes  then loudly said, “(whew) I’m fasting!”  It was a little out of place… so I asked, “Porter, do you know what fasting means?”  He quickly replied, “YES, It means you’re really hungry!”  I guess he’s heard his siblings complain a lot about being hungry during their fasting attemts.  All I can say is that it’s pretty funny hearing a 4-year-old announce that he’s “fasting” as he digs into his Saturday nachos!

Over this past weekend we took the scouts to Goblin Valley.  The weather was excellent and we had a great time.  We camped to the West of the main park entrance — campground and all surrounding areas were very crowded be we were able to find a great little spot with some small coves that made a great campground.

Saturday morning we broke camp early and headed into the park.  We had a great hike through the goblins and made a nice loop through the main park area.  After a few hours in the park we had some lunch and then 1/2 of the scout group headed home.  Those of us who could stay a little longer drove over to Little Wild Horse trail head and did a shortened hike through the slot canyon.  That was a great hike!  Would liked to have had a few more hours so we could have done the full loop of Little Wild Horse and Bell Canyon… maybe next time.

This little gem brightened my whole day…  I was on my way to work today when Herbie passed me on the Freeway.  Holy cow, some people must really love The Love Bug!
