The Great American Backyard Campout is a movement by the National Wildlife Federation to basically pull kids (and their parents) away from the TV for a night and spend it in the great outdoors--or their backyards. Now since we don't live somewhere that is conducive to sleeping under the stars without being assaulted by bugs or driven over by a car, we decided to take the campout inside! Check out this tent:
Our first attempt at a tent, and it fell down!
So, I got comfy!
Cass enjoyed the campout too!
...a little too much!
And the Holiday Hero finally joined in!
The tent is truly only made for one person! LOL
Or maybe a kid...
We still had fun imaging it was the great outdoors!
The Watermelon Seed Spitting Week is a time of year when people are encouraged to try to break the world seed spitting contest recorded in 1989 by Lee Wheells at 68ft. 9 1/8 inches! We certainly tried it, but I doubt ours went more than 5 feet! On the bright side, Arthur had fun licking them up off the floor!
Preparing for take-off!
We had to use the white seeds since it is quite difficult to find a watermelon with
the big, black seeds anymore!
It is a sad fact that typewriting on an actual typewriter has become as archaic as writing a handwritten letter! The age of computers has taken over the world of typing, but today we were able to celebrate and honor the typewriter for its decades of service to humankind. Although errors were common and whiteout became a necessity of life, typewriting will always be in our hearts!
This lovely instrument was found at a local antique shop!
Finally, it was National Pink Day. For all the "girly girls and boys" out there, today was the day to show off your pinky styles! The Holiday Hero and I are not much for pink, but we scraped up a few pink items that helped us celebrate. We tried to find songs for out Rockband Night from Pink or Pink Floyd, but they were all downloads and the system wasn't working so that was a bust. But at least we tried!
This was the closest we got to having pink clothes!
I can dig a rocker named Pink!
Ok, that's it for me. I hope your holiday celebrations are going as well as ours! Stay tuned for more holiday escapades!
CS, out.
