Trip to Idaho Falls 2: Electric Boogaloo:

this independence day weekend i went up to idaho falls with my roommate kelsy. i chronicled the trip via facebook status updates, which i will now chronicle here despite the fact that anyone that reads this is probably friends with me on facebook and therefore could have already read them:

•Trip to Idaho Falls 2: Electric Boogaloo (an Independence Day Weekend Adventure as told through status updates) - we have arrived.

• An enjoyable evening of conversation, memories and catching up by the Nickelodeon orange countertop.

• Bumpers are all that is saving me from extreme bowling embarrassment.

• Journey forth to purchase fireworks galore.

• Our heroes return with a cornucopia of fire sticks and bellies full of square ice cream.

• The ultimate sports disc flies free and picnics reign.

• Winner of most entertaining monkey two years in a row at the Tautphaus Park Zoo.

• The throngs wait with dogged anticipation for the sky to breathe fire.

• I have been sprinkled with ash and seen about a million things blow up. Celebration of freedom accomplished. Now to blow up more things at Kelsy's.

• It's surprising how much fun shooting/throwing bottle rockets into a canal can be.

• Adam Hochhalter is on the way home as the credits roll on Trip to Idaho Falls 2: Electric Boogaloo.
