Summer S-Wii-tness

I know I have been remiss in my blogging duties, but can you blame me? I mean why blog when I have this sweet new toy to play with. When I am not catching up on my reading I have been spending time trying out new games I've been renting from my local Blockbuster. Aside from that I spent the Holiday weekend camping with the family. Dad and I attempted to do some fishing, but the nieces (McKenna and Sophie) kept getting bored. And Dad was having a hard time converting the bait-caster he bought to fish in the ocean to lake fishing. Since I had the only reel that was working properly Dad was forced into this compromise.

I can't tell for sure, but the little fishing rod has either, Dora or Disney Princesses on it. Only a true Grandpa would be caught using little girl fishing equipment. Now that he has it, be prepared for some Grandpa-Granddaughter fishing dates. And some Daddy-Daughter fishing since he gave me that rod and reel I am using in the background. The reel belonged to Great-Grandpa Smith. It still works great, so it is up to me to keep it that way.



One morning, during our camping trip, we woke up to see a herd of horses wandering through the forest atop the Mogollon Rim. There was no sign of human herders among them so they may be wild, though we can't be sure. Either way, I never pictured horses wandering free in the forest. The little girls loved seeing them, especially the foal. It was a welcome change from the chorus of coyotes that kept Oliver on edge the night before.
