Disneyland for Free!.... well almost

Welcome friends and family,

On Thursday, our family, Grandpa and Grandma all went to Disneyland. Joey had a Gymnastics competition a few weeks earlier at California Adventures so Debbie (gym teacher) gave us five extra park hopper tickets for Disneyland. We had an amazing time and it wasn't crowded at all! Enjoy the pictures...



Lego can build some amazing things!



This is the Star Wars Jedi Training Acadmey. Joey got picked up to go and train to battle 'Vader and Darth Maul!

Nature Hike In De Luz

The rains have washed the earth clean again. Animals start to creep out of their hiding place. I went walking around my house and saw so much wild life. These picture were taken with my little D40: 55-200 lens. Not the greatest or up to date, but it works fantastic for a beginner like me. On this one little trip today, I took over 600 pictures.

Things to notice:
Water around goose- so cool!
Lizards tongue- blurry but amazing
Woodpecker- Look how blue the eyes are! I looked up this woodpecker breed and the eyes aren't supposed to be blue! Crazy!

The beauty out here in De Luz is just jaw-dropping. Sitting still, watching and listening was so relaxing. Enjoy the pictures.

De Luz Bridge Flooded

Our bridge was completely submerged! We watched huge trees rush across the water. Its amazing how powerful water is.

How to Make Woofums

A few nights ago, our family dessert was woofums.

What?

You don't know what a woofum is? You must have been hiding under a rock! Since a good majority of people never have heard of woofums, below are steps about how to make and eat woofums. It's a must try. Enjoy!

Step1: Take biscut dough, roll it out, and

shape it on the special woofum stick

Step 2: Cook dough over fire turning slowly till desire texture- Raw, Golden, or Charcoal Black

Tip: Try not to let the dough hit the ashes or roast completely in the fire

Step 3: Fill with choice of pie filling-cherry, apple, pudding, etc...

Step 4: Top with lots of whipped cream

AND MORE WHIPPED CREAM

and enjoy!

WHY IS THIS TREAT CALLED A WOOFUM?!

Look below and you'll know! Just woofum down!

(I love this picture. His shirt says, "Do I Really Have To Explain Myself?"

HAHAHAHA)

Have fun making woofums! Perfect for this wonderful, stormy weather!

P.S. Sister Garrett,

Sorry I couldn't come to seminary today or tommorow in this case. I have pictures of the flood I'll probably put up tomorrow. So sorry. Loved your blog about your daddy.

Audrey's Ark

It's raining! It's pouring! The old man is snoring!

It's raining cats and dogs out here in De Luz! Fortunately, our Internet is still working.

My sister, Audrey, started her own blog called, Audrey's Ark. It's a really cute blog that I'm helping her with about her animals. She is getting her own digital camera soon too. She needs some followers and good comments! Go check it out!

BSA Adventure Base 100

Last weekend, our family went down to San Diego for a special ceremony at the Adventure Base 100. My dad is apart of Woodbadge staff which is a level of training for scouts. My dad helped another to complete his part of training. The ceremony is called "beading." They had some cool scout activities including a C.O.P.E. (Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience) course, video, collectors penny, and a booth for funny green screen picture. Enjoy the pictures that I took at our scout-tastic adventure!

Of course, the famous pose.

This time in a scout uniform!

SCOUT POWER!

Scoutmaster Bob

My dad gave a little speech...

The awards begin!

The Bear Patrol gave my dad a

Smokey the Bear sign as a joke because

he likes to throw black powder into the camp fire.
It said, "PLEASE! Help Prevent Forest Fires!"

C.O.P.E Course

He was so excited! Brian was almost too short!
