Lake Powell- July 2007

So, I've taken the plunge into the blogging world. Today is the 1st day I've tried it out, and I have a lot of catching up to do.  I'm trying to figure out how to put all the old stuff in with the new.

I guess I'll just throw it all in together in random order and we'll see what happens.

So, where to start?  Why not Lake Powell with the Curtis family.  It was great.  Good food, good company, and not too far a drive from Nevada.

On the ride home: Clouds, Target, & Happiness

We passed some smokestacks on the way back and Xander asked, “Those making clouds?”

 

...then a few towns later

Xander wanted to know where grandpa Mark went.  We told him he had to go back to Utah so he could go to work.  Out of the blue he said, “No- grandpa not go to work... he go to Target.”

then...

We told Xander that after taking naps in the car we could go swimming later on.  He said, “I not need naps, I already getting happy.”

Bats eat cheetos

There were lots of bats at Lake Powell, and for some reason Xander kept saying that “bats eat bugs and keetos.”  He repeated this claim several times.  We all laughed thinking it was funny that he thought they ate bugs and cheetos.  We got home and he told me again that they ate bugs and keetos.  

I laughed and said, “Who told you that?”

He said, “Grandma Diane told me that.  I call her and she tell me that.”

I said, “So they eat bugs and cheetos huh?”

He said, “No- not cheetos... keetos!”  It finally dawned on me that he was saying something else.

I said, “Mosquitos?” 

“Yes,” he said, “keetos.”
