Livin' on the Edge
On Thursday, Helen left to visit friends and family in the UK and Guernsey leaving Dad & I finding ways to occupy ourselves this weekend. At the top of our list was the production of our first home brew. Root beer home brew, that is! So, on Saturday, thanks to a Make Your Own Root Beer kit that Dad got for Christmas, our first batch of Root Beer (aka "Strange Brew" and "Squirrel's Brew") has been made and is currently fermenting its way to glory. We'll be sure to update the blog with the taste test results when the time comes.
We decided that we'd start off Sunday slowly to save our energy for the evening's events and so after a chilled morning, we ventured to a nearby spot where we'd seen groundhogs a couple of weeks before. We set up camp and did manage to get a few photos but the groundhogs weren't really up for putting on a show and kept diving back into the undergrowth so we soon moved on to the park. There, we went kite-flying for the first time this summer and even though the wind wasn't very consistent, we soon got the hang of it (even if I did manage to get the kite stuck in a tree at one point) and managed to impress some of the local children.
That evening, we set off to the Nissan Pavilion to go and see ZZ Top and Aerosmith in concert. We arrived a few minutes into ZZ Top's set but still managed to catch some songs that we recognised and were impressed by their performance (and their beards!). However, it must be said that the highlight of the evening was most definitely the headliner. Aerosmith were awesome and full of energy from beginning to end. How the people in front of us managed to stay seated for the majority of the set we will never know. I still can't believe I've seen Aerosmith live - I think I may be in shock.
