Things to do with Little Dude
As I prepare for my son’s impending visit, I’ve started compiling a list of things we can do.
Without hesitation, I bought some sparklers at the grocery store on Tuesday. You don’t get to play with sparklers in California. I grew up with them in Ohio, but was disappointed to find they were illegal in Cali. That’s just how it goes. Here in Nevada, they sell fireworks in almost every grocery store parking lot. I find that very weird, but whatever. So, I got some for LD’s visit. We’ll go sit out in the middle of nowhere and see what happens. I’ll take my camera, of course.
I think my friends MOBD and MBDT (just go along with this one, okay?) and I will take LD to Utah at some point. It’s not a far drive. I haven’t been there for photographic and exploration purposes yet, so I’m excited about this. (I last went through Utah in 1991 on a trip from Denver to San Diego.)
There may even be a trip to the Grand Canyon.
I want to show LD the beauty of Nevada. I want to wow him. And I want my friends to get to know my very cool son. I wish my daughter could come visit, but that’s not in the cards right now. Perhaps someday. I’d like that.
We must add the wild horses, of course. He’ll be stunned. I may even keep that a secret until he gets here.
Anyhow, if you have any ideas for what we should do, post a comment and I’ll add it to the list.
Um… doesn’t LD read your blog? :biggrin:

No, he doesn’t read it. Especially not this weekend when he’s out camping. :cross:

All these things sound great. But sometimes the best times can be had if the two of you just rent a movie or two, get some pizza and rootbeer and popcorn, and just have a mother/son date at home for the night. Though I figure you probably have something like that planned as well. Hope you two have the best of times together. :hug:

Utah has some pretty awesome beauty to share. Don’t know if it is anywhere close enough to drive with LD but Bryce Canyon is my favorite.

oh, and they sell fireworks in grocery store parking lots here to – though nothing powerful. Have my poppers and fountains and sparklers and a couple other fun little things all ready to go here :biggrin:

Patti, I think we’re going to Zion… and almost got the popper thingies, but the sparklers are really more my speed. Since I gave up real pyrotechics, this is all I can handle. :rofl:
