We had so many fun beach trips this summer. It's been almost three months since we went last, and I'm starting to feel a longing. Nugget whole-heartedly agrees.
For the past few months, we've been trying to finish our 72-hour kits and emergency supply collection. I made some "buddy burners" to use as emergency stoves. They're made out of clam cans, cardboard strips, and wax. They last for about 2 hours. When I tested the prototypes out, they had an unintended side effect, however. Several giant mosquito-lookalike-bugs dive-bombed the burners and immediately went up in flames. I'm not so sure how I feel about that.
As luck would have it, Nugget had his first birthday on the oh-so-exciting, make-a-wish-at-11:11 day. For his big present, I made him a backpack (I had gotten tired of carrying his doggie bags to and from the park). Essentially, I bought him a harness and sewed two little bags from D.I. on it. It works pretty spiffily.
