LOST

Picture an eight year old curious little boy with nothing to do one evening.

He comes upon a tin can that will fit various small objects, puts them in the can and proclaims it a time capsule!

He then proceeds to get a shovel, walk out to the backyard, find the perfect spot and starts digging.

Once the hole is to liking, he places the time capsule inside and covers it back up.

Wanting to be sure he remembers where the time capsule is located, he places a rock on top as a marker so that he will be able to dig it up in years to come...

Come back to about a month or so ago.Yes. This little boy was Fez.
And pictured above is the rock marking where his prized time capsule is placed.
He remembered it one day and decided to dig it up.

So, he starts digging...

and digging...

and digs some more...
Hmmm. No luck.

A couple weeks later, round 2!

So, he starts digging....

and digging...

and digs some more...(by now we've dug up about half the backyard, knee deep and found nothing but slabs of rock concrete and roots)

Where in the backyard is that time capsule???

B5.......... HIT!!!

Since Saturday Fez and I have been
house sitting for a couple in our ward.
They have 2 boys that go to bed at 9:00.
For most people that doesn't sound so bad.
But this is quite early for Fez and I.
Since we are not at our house
or able to just go and do whatever,
we have filled our
"now what do we do" time
with a couple games of this each night:
OH YES.
Classic Battleship.
Growing up we had the electronic version
complete with splash and bomb noises.
But this is better.
You make your own.
Also, I have found that I am really good
at finding Fez's battleship right off.
And then end up winning.
One time he got SUPER close.
But I still beat him... by ONE guess!

Sorry honey...
I don't know why all my luck lies in
winning Battleship.
You don't have to play me anymore.

But is anyone else up for the challenge???
