Memorial Day

On Monday we did what any good American would do, we grilled meat and played some football. Lee, Sam, Derek, and I all drove out to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park and had a cook out. The park is about 40 minutes inland from San Diego and is enormous. There are plenty of hiking trials and camping spots. A couple years ago this was a spot hit hard by a wild fire. You can still see some of it on the trees.
I made friends with a squirrel while we were there. He clearly has learned to spot suckers like me. He came up looking real cute so I gave him a chip and a small potato, in exchange he posed for a few pictures. He looks like he should be wearing a bikini rolling around on a beach, he was eating up the camera, until he decided he wanted more food in exchange for more photos, then he ran away. While we were there a family came along with the same idea. They brought along a stereo and played the strangest radio station I have ever heard. The first three songs in order were: Groove is in the Heart by Dee-Lite, What's Up by 4 Non Blondes, and Hanging Tough by New Kids on the Block. It then went to Billy Idol, Salt N Pepa, Madonna, and Bob Seger. Apparantly wild life is not a fan of this mix as none of them came out until after that family packed up and left.

Here I am playing football, notice it is Nerf (I am still afraid after the softball to the face incident.)
It was a good day, lots of fun and good food!
