Kamping in Kanopolis

Last weekend I went on a Smurf-themed journey into the Heart of Darkness (aka, the middle of Kansas) visiting Kanopolis State Park and Mushroom Rocks State Park for some camping, hiking and biking! My nickname for the weekend was Urban Smurf, due to my stylish good looks.

I got all excited when we made a pit stop in Topeka, KS next to "Jock’s Nitch", which TOTALLY sounded like my kind of bar; however I was utterly disappointed when I found out it was actually a sporting goods store. Boo-hoo!

Me and Sassette Smurfling.

The first night, I hid in Papa Smurf’s sleeping bag. He was a little surprised when he got in bed and saw me there...

...But he was okay and we cuddled to keep warm.

Me and Wild Smurf….dreamy…

The following morning Tracker Smurf and I went on a short bike ride. I was a little disappointed when I found out that this ride would NOT involve being strapped to the bike (as my last bike ride entailed); however it all turned out okay because Tracker brought a special bobble-sized helmet just for me...

Always wear a helmet kids!!

After a long day of biking and hiking, we relaxed by the campfire enjoying the hot flames.

The next day we went to Mushroom Rocks State Park (the shrooms are like 15 feet tall!)

I SWEAR the camera adds like 50 pounds!!!

Goodbye, Kansas. 'Til we meet again…

Columbia MO Faurot Field - MU vs K-State Football

Tailgating at 8 am?  No way, no how!  Excuse me - what's that? Did you say there will be Bloody Mary's.  Well okay then I'll give it a try. Bloody Marys, Breakfast and MU wins over K-State 38-28.  I'm officially a Football Fan...okay I'm at least a Tailgating Fan now.  GO TIGERS!!!

Capital of Missouri...Jefferson City? Really?

Earlier this year I took a trip to the Capital of Missouri.
Did you know it's located in Jefferson City? Me neither.
I would have sworn it was in Kansas City or St. Louis.


Anyway seems like a nice enough place but nothing special.



Wait a sec...who are you? You look like something special
to me. Would you mind if we had our picture taken together?


SMILE!!!

I think I'm in LOVE.

I wrote countless letters to Adonis but he never responded.

Even though our meeting was brief I felt that we had a

connection. I realize now that he was only out to break

my heart.

Lance, the triathlete

So, I'd like to share some pics of my latest weekend adventure to Columbia MO. You'll see me right before I went out on the field and kicked like everyone's asses!!! All while enjoying the ever-present eye candy that was so readily available to me. Oh, and next time I'd like a room of my own. I mean, HelLlooO, who keeps a dirty-ass bike in their hotel room, anyway???

I DO NOT want to talk about it

a little ski fun...

Tonight we went to the local ski slope which wasn't nearly as lame as one might think for this part of the country. It was a nice combination of semi-extreme sports, delish fruity bar drinks and a healthy dose of young, muscley man-candy. What's not to love....
