Rexburbia - 006 - Grape Soda
-Dallan says that the young women run a better camp than the scouts. They talk about the lack of fighting and blood-letting from knife incidents.
-Dallan recounts how he's a bad story teller and didn't give the young women a very good telling of when he was sick in yellowstone.
-Jon says that Dallan is a good writer.
-Jon says that Jerad Hendricks is a good storyteller.
-Dallan admits to being able to dullify any story.
-Jon was out of town this last week and missed high adventure with his scouts. Jon was in Columbia Maryland, New York, and hit a Yankee's game.
-Baseball players make more money than we do... we both agree.
-Jon came back in time for his daughters birthday. Jon's a great dad. Jon's plane ride was delayed for two hours.
-Jon and Dallan conclude that BWI airport is one of the worst. They discuss the lack of food behind the security lines... and the lines are extra long at that.
-Jon and Dallan trade stories of horrible flights with kids. Dallan tells of Taylor throwing up all over on a flight from Boston to Vegas and Jon tells about Matthew throwing up in the back of the plane and how he cleaned up some of it, and hid the rest of it with his feet, from the stewardess.
-Dallan thinks he'll go float the Provo river. (He did, and enjoyed it greatly)
-After a confusing start, Dallan and Jon finally agree on where they did their high adventure kayaking on the Salmon River.
-Dallan and Jon seed the idea of them both teaming up with their wards for the high adventure next year. Jon says that Dallan's a bishop and Jon knows his bishop... so we're set.
-Jon recounts how Justin Maupin says a prayer before going through the big rapids... "I promise I'll never swear again if you get me through this alive."
-Jon shares probably the best story every on Rexburbia... "Grape Soda Explodes." Jon stuffed a two liter bottle of grape soda with dry ice in order to cool it. When it starts to erupt Jon tries to contain it by drinking it, but he's overpowered and the grape soda explodes all over the car. The driver, Rod Boam, keeps his cool and still has that moment as a vivid memory.
-Next week Jon and Dallan will probably go through a list of friends and talk about them. They think they'll make most of them mad.

Dallan and Jon,
You guys are characters! What funny stories you have. Thanks for making me laugh.

Thanks mom. You're a great support.
Dallan,
That's some pretty awesome stuff. I forget all the names but when you commented on them it brought all sorts of funny memories back. When I get the chance i'll have to call and tell some of my scout camp stories... good times!
