Spicy Riddles

Last week, we went to see some fireworks that are held each year at the college Danny went to (School of Mines).  It is an engineering school, and every year they have "E-days," where they celebrate homecoming weekend with various engineering activities.  I personally have no idea what exactly this entails, other than the fireworks.  The first year we went to the fireworks was the year Danny graduated...I remembered it being the BEST fireworks, hands down.  So this year was the first year we have been able to go back, and now I remember why...it is like a "finale" the entire time, they actually set off dynamite, and everything echoes through the mountains, which is amazing.  This year they even had these interesting fireworks that were more like gigantic green flames that ignited from the ground and rose majestically about 20 feet into the air (these reminded us of something from the Wizard of Oz), but they were incredible, because at the end, they set off maybe 10 or 15 of these simultaneously, and even though we were probably 500 yards away up on a hill, we could actually feel the heat from them.  It was pretty intense!  We highly recommend going to see these fireworks and invite everyone to come in future years, as we are absolutely making this a tradition!  You will NOT be disappointed!!

Anyways, so on the way home from the fireworks, we had to stop and get gas.  Of course, Cooper had to go potty, so I took him in and we ended up getting a couple of treats.  Cooper picked out Sour Skittles for himself and a treat for each of the other kids.  They were all sharing happily in the car on the way home when Jadan, after trying one of Cooper's Skittles, asked what they were called.  Cooper asked, "Mom, what are these things called again?"  I reminded him for probably the third or fourth time, and he repeated back to Jadan, "oh, these are my Spicy Riddles!"  Danny and I looked at eachother and were just cracking up.  Funnier yet, he never caught on and continued to refer to the Sour Skittles as his Spicy Riddles.  After that, we couldn't help but join in and they won't ever be Sour Skittles to us again.  Spicy Riddles!!
