Boys Being Boys

So when my sister came to visit she drove down and her husband flew down a couple of days later. He flew from Seattle, where he had been doing a qualifying run for the World Firefighter Challenge. (If you don't know what this is look it up it is pretty cool) Because he had just come from this he had all of his fire gear with him and Ben had to see how hard it really is to where 40 pounds worth of fire gear and run with it on. He lasted on the treadmill at a 5% incline going 7 mph for two minutes. I was pretty impressed.

I don't know if any of you have ever done diet coke and mentos volcanoes, but if you haven't you should try them. Anyhow, Dan and Ben decided to see how well these would work if you put them together in your mouth. It was pretty funny, thankfully they tried this by the kitchen sink.




Our dog thought that Uncle Dan was pretty much the coolest person ever. He especially liked Dan's bald head, any time Dan sat on the floor Chancho would lick his head all over, I think he liked the salty taste. It was really funny, unfortunately I didn't get a picture of this, I'll have to get one from Anne.
