In Case You Were Wondering

A pictures worth a thousand words, right? So I'll let them do most of the talking.

My grandpa turned the big eight zero this week (he's really is eighty! and he still has the heart of a teenager) so, my family threw a surprise party for him. Don't ask me who gives an eighty year old man a surprise party, because I honestly couldn't tell you. It was a very gentle surprise, we all just showed up at random times. While I don't have any pictures from the party I do have some pics of the drive up.

 This is what I like to call The Cowboy Hat and Boots. Its on the drive up to my hometown, that is if you take the back roads. Every time we drive up there I always find myself looking for this cool natural painting on the side of the mountain. It's a beauty.

 This my friends is  not the ocean, or the great salt lake, or a body of water that contains salt. This is what I like to call a river. It is HUGE. I know. You can only imagine my surprise when I went to Utah and saw the Jordan River for the first time. I was shocked that it passed as a river, it looked more like a creek to me. But I guess the Columbia River is pretty large compared to most rivers.

This is the other side of what is called the "Gourge." Most days that waters really choppy and not reflective, but I got lucky today and it was Gourgeous. (Pun intended) 

 I actually went inside of a windmill once. It was crazy cool. Here in good ol' Washington most of our power comes from either the dams or windmills. This is just one of probably 1,000 windmills on this wind farm.

 I promise this picture wasn't taken to show y'all the back of that trailer. If you look close enough, right above the crack on the window, there is this volcano that is another wonder of Washington (kind of like the Columbia River) From this road you can only see Mt. St. Helens about 1 out of 100 times. Normally there are clouds. Like I said, it was a beautiful day.

Some unpictured things. I drove a 4 wheeler today for the first time in a long time. Its a party, when you go 60 miles per hour around a corner through mud.

Earlier this week I went through all of the things I did this summer and I found some really cool things that I drew/wrote.

I drew this picture of my hand, with my own hand. It was really easy and I got the idea from pinterest.

 Good ol' Scotty has always made me giddy. Especially over the summer. Sometimes I really like lyrics so when I get bored I write things all cool.

Same as above, but I'm not giving Scotty, or anyone's lyrics credit for this one. This was all me. I really like cursive, and the word love.








Tonight I went to see a movie, with real people. Lets call it a date hanging out with friends. Nickel and Quarter might have been those boys, but there were other people with us and they showed up and surprised us. It was cool. We saw Oz and Porter fell asleep, he just got done working--the movie wasn't boring, I got stuck next to a stinking woman  but Blaine was on the other side of me and he smell good so it was all okay, Meagan had two boys with her and handled it quite nicely, so surprisingly the whole whatever you want to call it was great.

P.S Guess what lucky duck found out that this summer she gets to go to a Gavin DeGraw, The Script and Train concert this summer. This Kid! Woot! Woot, I'm so excited. While I'm on that adventure I might also go to a Broadway play. Wouldn't that be something? My summer is gonna be pretty great. Trek, then EFY, then Ellensburg, then Basketball Camp, then some wake boarding and tubing with my new found fam, then Portland, then some more time on the River with some more of my favorite people! It couldn't get any better!
