"acorns are falling on our heads..."

(sung to the tune of "raindrops are falling on our heads...")

our fall camping finale at blue mound state park... so sad to see summer go, and so happy to see the first signs of autumn at the same time. perfect weather with a zero percent chance of rain... my kind of camping! apparently, we've never camped under a grove of oak trees in the fall before, as we were constantly surprised by the acorns that kerplunked us (& the pop up) at random (& frequent) times throughout the day (& night). hilarious and noisy and painful all at the same time.

i taught court the fine art of pizza pudgie pie making while hayden recovered from a big fall off his bike. road rash and bloody knees and bloody elbows and ripped tshirt and scraped helmet and really fast heart rates... his and ours. the best part of the whole trip was when he decided it was time to get back on his bike and ride again. he showed us a (very determined & brave) side of himself that we had not ever had the chance to see before. within minutes, he wanted andy to get the stopwatch out so he could race himself. two hours later, he fell into a culvert. backwards. landed on his tailbone while trying to get a football.

i wondered if a campfire was a good idea.
