Not all who wander are lost. But some of us are.
It's true, I do. And she's right, I won't. Rena thinks it's especially funny to yell it. And it's fall-over hysterical if she can say it when people are passing by us on the trail. Huh-larry-us. It's just me and her going on our hikes these days, so we're not going quite as far as … Continue reading “My dad farts a lot and he won’t stop.”
Every single trip, there’s One Thing we forget. Unnecessary accessories like our camera tripod, stickers, or Mandy’s super cute hat for photo ops. Kinda important stuff, not enough to ruin the trip, but you’re kicking yourself for forgetting it: parachord, coffee (gasp!), duct tape. Then, there’s the big ticket items. The vital shit. It was on the checklist. Like rain pants (*cough* most recent trip to Banff NP *cough*).
One Thing, you’re never the same, but always just the thing. Never life threatening (knock on wood), but cuss-worthy? You betcha. We understand the temptation to not show your face on the big trips, it makes sense. What we really like about you though, is that no trip is too small for you to forget to make an appearance. There’s always One Thing that gets left behind, even on a day trip to the local trails. Quick run, no problem, right?…

We love camping, it’s probably our favorite thing (besides each other and our kids and yada yada yada) but that doesn’t mean you will like it. In fact, we’re pretty sure you’re going to hate it. So we’ve compiled our top 5 reasons that you shouldn’t go camping:
1. THERE’S NO WIFI.
There’s no wifi in the woods. That sucks. What are you supposed to do, explore? Borrrrrrrrring. Can you imagine hanging out with friends around a campfire, actually talking to each other? Ew. Staring at stuff is so lame – mountains are just big hilly things, those stupid trees are probably why there isn’t any wifi, and sunrises are way too early. Isn’t the new season of Survivor about to start?
2. #2
You most likely spend half of your day pooping – it should clearly be of the utmost concern. Really, this should be number one, because pooping…

Tooth Fairy is on a budget, too.
Remember how I was wondering what my reaction would be to if Rena lacked the competitive fire that I had as a kid? I think I found out. For some ridiculous reason, her coach thinks as a warm-up, the kids should throw the soccer ball in the air and try to catch it. I've never … Continue reading Hopefully she can cook
This post was supposed to be about all the fun Rena and I had going camping and wakeboarding with my cousins this weekend. Instead, Texas happened. Living in Texas, the weather is never the same for consecutive days. This weekend was no exception. This weekend wasn't just a typical weekend of planned fun, there were … Continue reading Adaptability and Sacrifice
I found out about a small rock climbing gym a few months back that is literally right across the street from my parents house. It's been there for years, I really wish I would've known about it when I was in high school. I've always called Rena my monkey because of the way she climbs … Continue reading Don’t Make a Mountain out of a Mole Hill
Today was another typical Monday for me: wake up at 6:30 A.M., get me and my monkey ready, drop her off at pre-school and then head of for school myself. Aside from sleeping in the same bed, in the room I grew up in, nothing about our morning routine is particularly out of the norm … Continue reading Help Needed
