Memorial Day Adventures!

I moved home from Rexburg Memorial Day weekend! I threw a bridal shower for my friend Dakota, that will be in another post. Erica came home, and while most of the weekend was spent getting ready for the bridal shower we also had some time to play, ride 4-wheelers, and see some family!

Everyone left on Sunday night, so Holli and I decided to celebrate Memorial Day on our own!

We have this fire pit that we decided to try out! We {thought} we could easily get a fire started with our amazing skills, but needless to say it’s times like that I really wish I had a brother who could help us out!

Holli and I wanted to roast marshmallows and have a great time, we went to all this trouble to gather supplies, and get some kindling for the fire! As we tried, and tried, and tried again to start a fire with just matches and tree bark Holli thought of the brilliant idea to use the gas can! It worked for a little bit, but the fire would never keep going…I have no idea what we were doing wrong I passed every certification test in girl’s camp!  

So eventually pouring gasoline on paper-towels was just not doing the trick so we proceeded to just {dump} gasoline on the fire…yea this is where our judgment may have gone wrong!

As Holli is pouring the gas I am getting some great pictures of the food we have prepared when all of a sudden I hear a few choice words and Holli is running like crazy to get the hose! I look over and the {full} gas can had caught on fire!!! With the sprinklers attached to the hoses and running on the lawn, and no water near Holli and I panicked! I ran for Sassy’s water bowl while Holli soaked herself unscrewing the sprinkler! Someone had to be watching out for us because we got it out in time, and all that we have to live with is a few scars, some scorched hairs and the embarrassment that we are definitely not boy scouts!

I would have taken some pictures but the added stress of Holli tossing the flaming gas can near a weed burner had me a little preoccupied!

This is something we vowed to never ever tell our parents, because our lack of judgment would have certainly gotten us in trouble…but I’m pretty sure the only people that read this blog is me and Dakota so hopefully they’ll never find out right Kode? Haha!

All in all it was a great weekend! I will post about the shower as soon as I get some pictures!!
