Shelby Loves Her Hat

Guilty Pleasure

So I have watched a couple of episodes of My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad on NBC, and although no one dies or gets exploded or is a really rich overly dramatic teenager, it's strangely compelling. Kind of like a Japanese Game Show for The American Family. 

Last episode the dads had to launch their kids (who were all harnessed up and holding big foam darts) off of this platform, so they could swing through the air and try get a bulls-eye on a super giant target. They were pretty high up, and a couple of kids smacked into the padded wall kinda hard.

This week, the final two dads had to pick up scorpions off a conveyor belt and carry them over to a tank where their kids were sitting and drop them in. The dad with the most was the winner, which this week was the Cool Kid and Nerdy Dad combo. It's also kind of touching to see these dads do all this crazy stuff so their kids aren't disappointed, like the guy who climbed up a 4 story high fake tree even though he was clearly afraid of heights and couldn't go very fast. 

Anyway. I like it. 

My View

This was my view of the checkers game. I think it was the intense evil concentration that Morsa was using against me that won her the game. Also. I don't have very many pictures of us making normal faces as you all can imagine.

This is of our fellow tourists taking pictures off the side of the boat. I ended up the frame of the people sitting next to us who were taking pictures of themselves and the boat. Hopefully they notice me with a big cheesy smile (and the remaining half of a breakfast sandwhich in hand) in the background of their vacation pictures. Anyway, I liked this picture.

Lower Manhattan looking unreal.
