Yesterday though we did run away to the grand old town of LaGrande Idaho.... look it up clearly it was a BIG get away.... Actually though it was fun as it always is. Every year our friends the Walkers have the Playmill group out to their place for a BBQ at their place for the 24th. It was filled with good food and fun times as always =) After we had devoured our way through all the food we headed over to the Merrill's house which is sorta in Rigby but not really.... another BIG town.... (if you don't know that I am sarcastic then u should
understand at this point that both of these towns are tiny- I was in the country folks.) Once everyone got there the blowing up of things commenced. Firstly dry ice bombs. If you have never seen this before go drink some two liters of soda and find someone from the country.... they will show you what it is all about- but let them do the blowing up so that you keep all of your appendages. Basically you take an empty two liter of soda, put some dry ice in it, add a little bit of water and QUICKLY put the cap back on then either throw it far away and run to a safe distance where the cap will not hit you when the bottle explodes, or put it inside a homemade cannon to shoot it in the air to watch it explode, or before you put the dry ice and stuff in you tie the two liter to a rock so that once you are ready to go you toss it in the water and it creates a depth charge. If anybody doubts that I have been initiated into Idaho culture this mini-tutorial should convince u. Don't worry mom I let the Idaho boys do it. I will never concede that you can call Jello a salad however.
Then of course we did traditional fireworks because well.... who doesn't love fire? =)
