78 degrees in March!!

Like the rest of the world (or at least the country) we had extremely warm weather last week.  On Saturday the high was 78 (the record on that day BEFORE this year was 76 - I checked).  So I think it's safe to say that was the warmest St. Patrick's Day in history!  We spent the whole day outside and loved every minute of it.

In the morning we went on a hike with my friend Kristin.

After that Brody and I went to 7-11 to get an icee.... GREEN for St. Patty's Day!!

That night we had tin foil dinners at a park with some friends.  I have 2 funny things to report about that:

1. When I went to the store to buy the meat and veggies for the dinner, I came across an item in the produce section that I've never seen before.

I thought to myself "huh, that's an ugly looking fruit".  Then I looked at the name of it....
It's actual name is UGLY FRUIT!!! 

2.  We bought some coals to cook the tin foil dinners on and I noticed this funny sign on the bag...
 In case you weren't already aware, it is not safe to burn coals INSIDE of a car or a teepee.  They just wanted to make sure we all knew that.

The tin foil dinners were delicious and we had a good time with our friends!


  We made smore's afterwards on the simmering coals.  Not just normal smore's though, smore's with JUMBO marshmellows!
My smore had eyes.

Sal kept himself busy by chewing on a branch.  Not a stick, a branch.

Who's ever heard of ugly fruit? Is that for real? surely there is another official name for it? Funny. The warm weather has been awesome. I've loved it here too. Glad you could spend some time outside. Who's the funny guy in the blue shirt making the face in the picture at the park? And those giant marshmallows! cool.

That is so awesome that it is actually called Ugly Fruit. And I LOVE tin foil dinners... and smores and if I was a dog I'm sure I'd love chewing on branches as well. :)

Who's that 7th-wheel girl at your tin foil dinners. How awkward for her . . .

You're such a funny girl, I love that about you. That ugly fruit is interesting, I've never even heard of it. LOVE the big marshmallow, duh, why are they just now coming out with those? Sal and the tree branch, classic. Lydia asks about Sal every time we go to your parent's house, apparently he made quite the impression on her.
