We are leaving to go "for a drive in the country to look at the changing fall leaves" very soon. In an SUV that has a DVD player! Alex is in their kitchen helping to pack a fucking picnic. A real live honest to goodness picnic. Like with homemade iced tea and cookies and brownies made from scratch and everything.
Sometimes it is really very hard to believe there are people who like actually live like this.

Update:
The leaves were pretty. It was kind of boring. They were a little more excited and into it than we were. It was fun to see so much grass and trees you can climb. We got bored after a while though. Maybe you have to be a grownup to fully appreciate autumn properly.
The good part was that we stopped at some house where this guy who is friends with them live and he had a BBQ and instead of eating sandwiches for a picnic dinner we got to eat all kinds of cooked food that was hot.
This is my question about roasting marshmallows - if you're not supposed to be eating food that falls on the ground outside and branches from trees fall on the ground why is it okay to eat marshmallows that have been stuck on a branch?
All that fresh air is not healthy. It is exhausting. Alex fell asleep on the way home.

I wish you three could have a family like that every day, instead of only getting to borrow one occasionally.
Every time I read your blog, I just wish I could bring you home with me. You deserve so much more than you have right now, but I know that with your determination, in time you WILL have what you deserve.
Ha, you made me laugh about the sticks and marshmellows!!! I guess my mom always told us that a little dirt won't hurt us and hot melted marshmellows are soooo good. I love getting out in the "country" but I think your right, adults seem to enjoy it more. It had to be nice getting away from the city for a awhile though. Have a good week.
About the sticks - well you're supposed to let the tip sit in the fire for a while before you put your food on it, the fire will kill any bacteria.
Your trip sounds great, and yes the great outdoors can be boring when you're used to the city life.
