A 'guy' kind of day

The last day of my three day tour at home with my son is here. You guessed it - it's nap time and I am trying to get in a post. Today we've done a few guy things. We started the morning off by heading to downtown Franklin and getting us a drink at Starbuck's (coffee for me and milk for the boy). We then walked down main street to check out the toy store but it wasn't opened yet so we smudged up the window with our finger prints growling at the huge stuffed bear on display. I gotta say, downtown Franklin is something special.

We then walked back over to the dealership where we left our van so they could reprogram the computer. Cars and computers...not a good match. We then came back home where we did a little more work to the van. We added some flames down the side and set it up on some over-sized mud tires. This voyager is pimpin' now. The neighbors will be jealous.

After that we cranked out my son's Jeep Wrangler that we picked up this weekend at the neighborhood yard sale and tried driving it down the side walk. That Power Wheel can't stand a chance against the mailbox, but it sure can handle the boxwoods we planted last Summer.

We've been asked to fix supper tonight, so when nap is over, we're gonna fire up the grill and clean it out. Then we'll go kill us a chicken and prepare our feast. We'll probably paint our faces with mud, go bare foot, and use spears. My son will have to do all the killin' since he is the only one with a legal TN hunting license. I'm just ramblin' now. Can you tell? We decided not to have fish tonight in honor of "Jonah".

Nothing quite like father-son bonding. Your first fishing trip will be fun.
