Super Epic Lego Time!!

Build With Legos, of course that made the list of things to do this summer, and while we have done it many times I decided not to count it until super epic lego time. Now, for our anniversary Tyson and I decided to have super epic lego time. So, we saved up, and had a little help from my Mom as our anniversary gift and we ended up with these legos for super epic lego time. Oh my word it was so much fun! We really enjoyed it and I look forward to rebuilding these sets over and over again for a very long time!  

All Around the Fire

Here I am... sitting by the campfire.... roasting... an Easter Peep. Yes, I am roasting a peep. Now, I had never done this before but Tyson INSISTED that this was the only way I would ever get him to eat a peep.So I decided that I must try it if he felt so strongly about it. Goodness sake it was good! I will still eat them plain too but I like peeps much better than normal marshmallows. One of the really nice things about roasting a peep was that the outside hardened and made it a lot less messy to eat!! 

I had never before roasted a Starburst, but I had heard wonderful things about doing so. So, with my summer fun I figured I might as well try this... and just as roasting peeps was awesome... so was this! Everything about a roasted starburst was fabulous! Even my Grandmother loved it! This will be happening around every campfire I ever have from now on! 

And last but not least, I did make a smores. I'm not huge on them, I've never been as obsessed with them as many but for traditions sake I always do it once a summer. This time I decided that I would use one of the peeps instead of a marshmallow. Lol, it tasted very similar but it made me laugh hard to see the ears sticking out of my smore... poor little bunny. Haha. 

Old Faithful

Okay, so it was also on this list of summer things to see old faithful. I have seen the awesome, famous, geyser many times in my life, but I didn't have the opportunity to see it last summer and I decided that wouldn't be okay for this summer!  So, while on our trip into Yellowstone National park we drove over to the many seen thing and lucked out! We walked up just as it went off and we had a great view without any of the wait. 

We also ended up going and seeing a pretty little waterfall that I hadn't ever seen before. It isn't very often that we find something so close to the path that I've driven so many times that I've never seen. I was very excited to stop and look at this beautiful site. 

My silly mother HATES taking pictures, but I insisted that she sit on this bench and take a picture with me... so here it is. I figured since I insisted on it I clearly should put it up for anyone and everyone to see!

Oh, and lastly another geyser that we found on out little trip in to the park. This one goes pretty much constantly! It was really pretty! I love seeing nature and all the things God created! 

Tinfoil Dinner

When I was younger and went to girls camp every summer, we frequently made tinfoil dinners, and I decided that this was something that I needed to do this summer, so it became number 35 on my list of things to try to do this summer. Last weekend, we did just this, but a little different than I had always done before. Usually I had done it with hamburger but this time we went with chicken. 

Our meal turned out so well! I really enjoyed it! We had some really great potatoes, and some bacon. (Tyson is somewhat bacon obsessed.) But it was really good! I am glad we branched out and tried chicken!
