The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd

For the last few years now we've been listening to The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd.

The premise of the show is always about the evil Dr. Steve going back in time to steal a historic item (for example, George Washington's teeth) for the purpose of coming back to the present to sell it on ebay. Dr. Floyd and Dr. Grant always have to chase him back in time and stop him. It is so much fun to listen to in the car while we are driving (there are many jokes that Joey and I laugh at that go right over the kid's heads) and the voices are so vivid that at one time while we were listening to an episode, Luke said, "We've watched this one before!"

This is just a cut and paste from the "about" section on their blog...

"The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd is the internet’s longest running, professionally produced, family friendly podcast! Though the show was broadcast over the internet in April of 2004, it wasn’t until the advent of Podcasting that the show took on the status it now enjoys.

The Radio Adventures Of Dr. Floyd has steadily built listenership with wacky tales of the World’s Most Brilliant Scientist, Dr. Floyd, as he races through history, hot on the heels of his arch nemesis, Dr. Steve. The show is breaking ground in the world of family entertainment and is in development as a TV Show and Feature Film.

The Radio Adventures Of Dr. Floyd is a weekly, 5 minute, family friendly show that combines the fast paced, episodic hilarity of Rocky & Bullwinkle and the imagination inducing power of “old time” radio. It’s Stan Freberg, Jay Ward, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Prarie Home Companion, and Sesame Street all rolled into one!"

Random stuff we've been doing.

Playing in the water in Saint George, UT

Me giving my snotty look.  (My back hurt!)

This is "Fast Horn" the caterpillar with Luke's reflection.  Poor Fast Horn was trained to tightrope walk and was eventually loved to death.

Luke and Joey went for a hike together.  They found a desert plant they liked and replanted it into our backyard.

Sylvia's favorite thing at the Lied Children's Museum was to dress up and dance on stage.

Isabel loved being a checker...

And a singer.

Luke loved being in a video game via green screen.

He's the little character on the left.

Eat at Taco Bell

Yesterday we went through Taco Bell's drive through.  I normal don't get the kid's meals, but Isabel wasn't ordering anything and Luke wanted a meal so I said sure.  The toy is a computer disc called Neptune Quest.  It's a "create your own comics!"  It's pretty cool.  You can pick out what layout you want, what background or setting, the characters including what size and where they are placed, speech bubbles and you type in what you want them to say.  Luke spent this morning "creating" and then printing his own comic.
