And the answer is...

Tammy was right. Amazingly enough, Nate did not eat duck poop! We had a lovely day at the park, but then we had the potty accident. So we went to the car to clean up Ewan, and Shell locked her keys in the car. So, we decided to walk around the lake and wait for Sam to call us back and let us know when he could bring a spare set of keys. Nate then decided to jump in the lake, and I was lucky enough to get to jump in after him. Of course, my cell phone was in my pocket. (The cell that Sam was supposed to be calling.) So, we all headed over to pick up (my) Sam from preschool, with Nate naked, and me covered in seaweed, and then back to my house. Oh, did I mention that 2 months ago my mom washed my cell phone on accident, and I just got it replaced 4 days ago. It was a nice 4 days. Good-bye phone, again. I wish that I had a video of me jumping in the lake. I still makes me laugh just thinking about it. I also wish I could have taken a picture of Nate's very green face. Good times, good times...

I am glad you are able to laugh at the whole thing. It is a great comedy of errors story.

One of the funniest parts of the whole story was little Sam's third degree after getting in the van?

Mom, why are you all wet?
Why did you jump in the lake?
Can we go back to the lake?
Were there crocodiles in the lake?
Can we go back to the lake?
Can we go back to the lake?
Can we listen to Down Low? (or whatever the song is called)
Can we go back to the lake?

Thanks Shell, I forgot about the crocodile comment. You made me laugh all over again.

No TammyDem, those are not sunglasses.
Did you just crawl out from under a rock (cuz everybody has one) or are you just jealous that you don't have a goofy picture too? :)

I put up a profile picture so that my friends for overseas and different states have a face to put with the comment. It's like a virtual conversation. But the trick for me is to be like the neighbor on home improvement - to never reveal my whole physical identity.

That is why in this picture I have shades on and a flash in the mirror that washes out the bottom portion of my face. Actually that pic is from the lake in our hotel room.

Hi Angi,
I don't think I ever met you. I am one of steph's cousins. I used to hear lots about you (all good)when steph lived with us in KC. It is nice that you guys still keep in touch.

Hello Forrest
SO your are one of the infamous cousins that she lived with! How interesting! I can only imagine the stories that she has shared...
Are you an older or younger cousin? I assume you still live in Kansas? I should scan some old Seminole pictures and post them. She would kill me wouldn't she?

I am the oldest of her cousins and yes I am still in Kansas. Yeah, you should set up your own site and post some of those old seminole pictures. That would be great! :)

Does it get any more wild than jumping in a slimy lake?

Wait, she still does her hair big.

So how did you get into blogging, Forrest? I'm assuming you have a sight as well?

Yes, I have a site as well. (just click on my name) I got into it or experimented with it, when some good friends of mine were moving to spain. I also have a good friend who is a traveling doctor type.

(well, actually I am really horrible at keeping in touch with people long distance. I am not a phone talker and really don't write individual emails.)

I thought "hey they should set up a blogsite, so I and our other friends could hear their stories and make comments about them." That way they don't have to worry about emailing everybody, etc. ...and you can also post pictures.

So, I took the first step and set one up and passed it on to them and soon they were set up along with some of their other friends. It has worked out great. They can read about us and us about them.

Does that make sense?

I did do my hair big for a Napolean Dynamite party. Jeremy couldn't believe I could still accomplish it. I even used Salon Selectives. The smell brought back many memories! (the counselor speaking) "all I can smell is hairspray".

I'm wild at heart, but quite lame, I mean tame now. I also don't have the fashion sense that you have Ang. Check out Forrest's site. You'll love his blog on sports coats.

I LOVE your jacket-also the story. Great story. Great taste.
Seminole
Napolean Dynamite just happens to be Ky's favorite movie. Quite often when the opportunity presents itself-she asks me if I'm going to eat my tots....
She is so much fun! She is a huge Green Day fan so I went and purchased Nimrod(brought back many great memories-fantastic album)This was hillarious to her because she was so surprised that her favorite band was so old....
Steph-don't be so hard on yourself! Next year come down for Sturgis-I'll let you ride on the back of my motorcycle witch I am sure will get some attention. You can even do your hair big...

Angi- when steph is riding on that motorcycle with you, make sure she keeps her top on. (we don't want anymore incidents.)

Also, no fair! you left a comment for me on Seminoles site. Take it over to the forest.
