Camping, Garden Update, Tangly limbs, missing sun

This is our pumpkin plant. I suspected it was growing crazily so I measured it and it grew 22 inches in 2 days so 11 inches a day! It loves the hot weather.

Well it looks like all these pictures are in reverse order than what I had hoped. Oh well. There used to be this huge tree by our apartment that had really tangly limbs in the power or telephone lines. I have noticed it getting worse for a couple years and apparently someone else did too because they finally took the tree out. But the limbs were so tangly that they couldn't get them all and there are these logs hanging from the line up in the air. Very strange but funny.


Wow these are really out of order. This is our pumpkin that last post I thought I might have to carve with toothpicks. It's freaking huge now!

Our sunflowers have reached their full height of 8 feet and are just barely starting to tip their heads. It is a little annoying that when we walk onto our patio we pretty much have to shake hands with the entire family of plants which reminds me sara is pregnant due mar 26 because they guard the path.

he other day a bunch of smoke from the tooele wildfires blew into town and blocked out the sun (like I imagine it will be in the 2nd coming). This was taken at 5:30 PM. Sun should be considerably brighter then. It also dropped a bunch of nasty ash on the car.



We went camping last weekend. We had wanted to go for some time with friends but they were too flaky so we just went by ourselves. It was tons of fun. We didn't get the best campsite (yes that is the road 30 yards from our firepit) but we could get the car in and out of that site.


That awesome little cooler was our utility bench. It was our table for putting stuff on hot dogs, our beverage holder, and just about everything else. Very handy.


Mom and dad let us borrow their tent. It set up in like 10 minutes.



Getting a fire going went smooth on Friday night but Saturday morning just barely. We got it started with the last match.
