Having a ton of fun

That's the best way to describe today. To keep from repeating myself, go to Pelican's Post to see today's entry.

Now for the goodie. Strap yourselves to your chairs so you don't fall out laughing. I decided I need to improve my tepee. So, I cut down a new tree for a better third pole. It took about an hour with my Rambo knife and about another 10 to finish it off with my ax.

I pulled out my boy scout handbook to work on my pole lashing. My pole lashing was beautiful. I should take a pic.

Anyway, next on the list was setting it up and making sure the poles were strong enough for me to climb on. I jumped up, grabbed the poles and the next thing I knew, a pole snapped, my feet went out from under me and I went flying backwards landing on my head and upper shoulders. It was hilarious!!!! I'd loved to have had a video of it!!!

Anyway, my back hurts. My head broke the fall so it doesn't hurt. LOL

So, that was my exciting day! :] Hope everyone had a great one!
