Camp: Day 7

"Tell me about camp today, Bob."

"Me and Brandon swam and did a hike where we saw a lizard, as usual. Then Carl my favorite counselor taught us a song that was either in another language or maybe a made up kind of language. We did Frisbee tag and then I made this plastic thing that you're supposed to tie in knots but I didn't want to.

"It's supposed to be a lanyard, I think."

"I don't know what a lay-nerd is but I'm calling it a squid, Mom. That's what it looks like. A squid."

It Was Inevitable

"Mom! There's a bird in the house!"

"What? Oh no! Where?"

"See right here on Minecraft! I'm building another door so it can get out. I think it's a chicken or maybe a duck."

"This is going to be how it is now, isn't it?"

"Look! Now there's a sheep in the house!"

Little Coach

"... and then my sister Laura saved my life by pulling me into the part of the water that wasn't so deep. I could have died, Bob."

"But why didn't you just freestyle out of there?"

"I couldn't swim. I still can't."

"Danny, I've got an idea. I can swim. We can go to the pool and I can be your teacher. I can get you all learned up."

Smacksy Sunday Links

A challenge to slow down.

A lost Egyptian city found underwater. So cool.

I am a huge Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme fan. I am so sorry to hear of Eydie's passing, but we can still hear her sing.

Happy Sunday.

And I Thought Pong Was Complicated

 
"So, Mom? I'll tell you one more time again. You move these cupcakes and other stuff up here like that and sometimes the King Pig eats them. See? Like this. And then sometimes he burps out flies and sometimes it's fish bones but sometimes he burps out these little things that keep all of your stuff together so it can't break and sometimes he burps out these magnets and sometimes it's these tube-y things that I can't really explain. Now do you get it?"

Dudes

 
"Hey, Bob. I was mining under that big rock in my backyard and I was like 'brrrrrrreat brrrrrreat."

"You mean like 'goooooj gooooj?' Like that, Felix?'

"It was more of a 'rerererererer."

"Did you find anything?"

"I hit something hard. I think it was a rock or maybe... an underground hidden city."

"Yeah. That's cool. I like rocks."
