First, I just saw this picture that Sara took of Gabe at the Apple Orchard last week. It has to be one of my all-time faves. You have to love the hat knit by Ini (Gabe's great-grandma on Sara's mom's side). Nice work, Sar.
Next, my grandpa, dad, brother, brother-in-law, and our two, two year olds spent a great morning fishing this past Saturday. The little boys didn't get too into the actual idea of fishing, but it was good for them (especially Gabe) to be able to get out into nature. (Thanks, Dad, for keeping the boys entertained while the rest of us got to fish.) Between the bunch of us, we caught about 4 fish (none longer than 3 inches...one hooked through the eye) and a nice little turtle (with a net). It was just a blessing to get to spend the time with the guys; I hope we'll do something like this again soon.
Last, I spent some good time late Saturday night hanging out with my buddy, T. We spent time talking about the important things in life, family, faith, politics, etc. until the coffee shop we were in closed. Toward the end of our conversation, we continued our deep talk by discussing the whole mentos + diet coke phenomenon. He had never seen the two combined in person, so we decided to drive to a 24-hour walmart, bought several bottles of diet coke, a pack of mentos rolls and went to a nearby parking lot to try it out. 80% of our attempts didn't do too well, but we got one bottle to launch like 30-40 feet in the air. It was a fun dose of the shenanigans of our youth. But if you read this, please dont tell because we dont want to get in trouble.
