movie fail, textual details

I spent the last hour editing down all the footage I took with out flip camera.  Then the program failed and I realized that I hadn’t saved it since I started trimming clips down to 5 seconds each.  And I was almost half done.  Grrr.  So in the words of Miranda, iMovie is going to go sit in the corner and think about what it has done for the rest of the night. 

Amanda wants details and I’m not sure what to say.  We did pretty much exactly what I wanted to do on this trip.  Bullets commence bulleting! (bulletting?)

• The cabin is still deliciously seventies in design.  Brown and yellow shag carpet with matching harvest curtains and harvest fireplace.
• I made Nate and Ben walk up the drive way first before attempting to mount it.  They poo-poohed my warnings about the steep angles, but later agreed that it was deceptively difficult to maneuver.  
• Fry sauce is awesome, equally delicious on french fries and tator tots. 
• We all memorized Zaley’s signing video.  “It’s signing time with Alex and Leah…”  will that ever get out of my head?  
• There is nothing wrong with having a LaBeau’s milkshake every day.
• The autumn colors were beautiful.  We have a lot of pretty aspens in Colorado, but we miss out on the oaks.  
• I thought this might be my first trip to Bear Lake without a sunburn, but somehow it fried my nose!
• The water at the lake was amazingly clear, like a swimming pool.
• We are all majorly nerdy bloggers.  This trip will be documented with photos and videos TO THE LIMIT!
• In all our smart meal planning and grocery shopping, we forgot to take into account the attractive small town eateries that stole our appetites. 
• Disney’s Robin Hood is really really good.  
• Jem is depressed that we hadn’t moved into the cabin permanently.  Talk about dog heaven.  She started every morning bouncing bed to bed, doing consecutive laps up and down the stairs. 
• The weather was perfect – cool and sunny with scattered clouds.  This morning, before we left, there was a terrific thunderstorm.  I woke at 5 am to close the windows and watch the lightening beams shoot into the lake.  The rain cleared by the time we were packing up.
• I found some joyous remnants of my youth, such as fancy Kermit and Miss Piggy sheets that Amanda and I used to fight over, and our old Rainbow Brite “Rainbow Inside of Your Heart” cassette. 

I’ll work on the video another night.  I planned to do another 5×5, but it will be more like 5×40.  Molly is happy we are home.  The couch is coated in cat hair.  Miraculously my beta fish is still swimming.  He has to be 304 years old in beta fish years.  I have one more load of laundry to do before climbing into my glorious bed.   Tomorrow is a short day of work, just some computer training.  Later Ben and I will catch up on Glee.  Look for more updates to Emma’s Baubles this week!
