Who knew BBQ grills could fly.............

It started out a beautiful still morning....with the Wagon packed with food, Dylan, and my co pilot Winston we headed up to beautiful Curt Gowdy State Park....it was going to be the start of a wonderful Fireman 2 day party at Hynds Lodge...Collin was going to meet us at the lodge...he still needed to get propane and stop by the store...but should be a short 20 minutes behind me...as I pull up to the Lodge it is amazing how all of the days stress drains away....as we waited for Collin to arrive we I should say I...since really Winston is useless and Dylan has at least another 4 weeks before we can expect him to start pulling his weight and helping out....anyways as we waited for Collin to arrive I began to put away groceries...set up tables...as we continue to wait...I begun to start getting food ready and set up....still waiting for Collin....well almost a hour and half later...still no Collin....since we have no cell service at the Lodge....I climb up the rocks....let me remind you...that I am by myself with Dylan and Winston...to see if I can get better reception...I have a message on the phone it is Collin telling me he wants to cry...and the grill.....the rest of it...I can't understand...the darn phone is breaking up....so as I hike back to the lodge...all that stress that just drained away ...well it found its way back....I have somewhat pieced together...that well that he is crying over the grill....as I arrived back to the Lodge....John Haberkorn was arriving and explained to me that yes indeed Collin was very upset and that as he turned a corner the grill literally flew out of the pick up truck....I verified that everyone was ok...and that no other damage had occurred...I then had sigh of relief that overcame me...and was quite excited about the thought of getting a new grill...see I really wanted a new grill last year...but how could we justify a new grill when the one that we had worked perfectly fine....I wanted a bigger fancier grill....so I am quite pleased...old grill destroyed...even better...Collin is the one that destroyed it....the guilt alone will get me at least 4 burners.....perhaps stainless if I remind him of the beautiful child I brought into the world for him...if I had only known that BBQ Grills could fly I would have loaded that bad boy in the back of the truck along time ago...with that we are going Grill shopping tomorrow....

oh....and we had a wonderful time up at the park :)
