1. How did you welcome the month of July, and tell us one fun thing you did to celebrate the 4th. (or the weekend for any non-USA residents playing along today)
I welcomed the month of July by packing for my daughter and me to go to camp. Am I the only one who keeps saying things like "Great, one thing left and I'm done! Just three more things and we'll be ready to go. Yup, nineteen more things to cram (oof) into this (grr) suitcase..."
As a result, we spent the fourth celebrating at Sunshine's favorite place: church camp.

2. Right now..what's your favorite red thing? white thing? blue thing?
Red thing: strawberries.
White thing: um...ice cream?
Blue thing: the sky.
3. Wave the white flag, raise a red flag, fly your freak flag...which 'flag' have you flown most recently? Explain.
waving the white flag. This year has been an overwhelming one, and I've had to let go of control over a lot of things.
4. According to Cond Nast Traveler these are the seven best places to visit in July-
a boat safari in Botswanna's Okavango Delta, Riviera Maya Mexico (it's whale shark season and apparently you can swim with them), Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, Pamploma Spain, St. Petersburg Russia, the Fuji Rock Festival at Mount Naeba Japan, the Salzburg Festival in Salzburg Austria
If time and money weren't factors would you want to see any/all of these? Which would you most like to see and why?
Riviera Maya. I love, love, love Mexico. Other than that, I would love to see St. Petersburg, but I think I'll wait till the political climate changes. (Can I say that out loud?)
5. Grilled cheese, pimento cheese, or mac and cheese...your favorite from the cheesy treats listed?
Grilled cheese. With just a little bit of grilled onions. But seriously, grilled cheese.
6. What makes you sweat?
Apparently, hiking up the side of the mountain in the fog when it's overwhelmingly humid.
7. Your favorite movie with a 'patriotic' theme of some sort?
I actually really liked Patton and is anyone gonna think it's ridiculous if I add Independence Day to the list?
8. Insert your own random thought here.
One of our favorite games from camp was a human version of Hungry Hungry Hippos:
I used to be a youth leader and at one point was known as the "gamemaster" because I was always hunting up wild and crazy games. I wish I'd seen this Hungry, Hungry Hippos game back then. It looks like a blast!
ReplyDeleteThe kids LOVED it and insisted on playing an extra round. :D It was actually kind of hard but it was great!
