It was beautiful here though. And i was really excited to see it too b/c i had heard how neat it was from my friend Justin who took an out west trip just like us a couple summers ago. But i'm telling you....he is my man!! Well, not like that, but if i ever have any questions about things such as out west to survival tips in the bare wilderness (thankyou government class!) he would be the one i'd trust the most and ask!! :) Ha-really,he is such a handy man and just super smart w/ all those guyish manly things!! One time for example, when my dad was out of town i needed to get gas in the car and i only did it once a really long time ago...but my dad was actually helping me out alot. This is where Justin comes in....i asked him if he wouldn't mind helping me (a poor, weak, fragile girl, whose completely uneducated when it comes to cars) get gas with me. And sure enough, he was all for it!! (actually, i first asked Taras to help me...but he refused; seriously!) So one day before Jazz Band practice we had to quick rush up to the station and he expalined to me how to get the gas....and he was sooo good at it!! I mean, he even made me go in alone to the station to give the $ and say the pump number! :O He talked me through all the steps and made me feel sooo accomplished at the end!! :) And at the end, we both got a little giggle on how i gasped when the plug things popped back into it's place. :P What a girl i am!!lol But i tell you, when i find a guy to marry....i want him to be just like Justin in those areas!! ;)
Ok, enough about Justin...and NO!! I'm not crushing over him! I just felt like reminising of some good old memories.
And while were back to the vacation topic, check out this marvelous view of Devils' Tower. This is actually the first national monument. It was pushed up from the earth years ago and i want to say it has something to do w/ a volcano or something but i just can't remember.
I believe this was across from the monument. Splendid sight on both sides! :)
We were on our way driving to the monument when we saw this beatufil sight. And seeing as how i want a white horse one day...this was lovely. (inspired by LOTR!) :)
And to make it cuter, there were 2 deer right by it, a mom and it's baby.
We took a picture of this kid b/c we thought he looked Ukrainian!! :O And i'm pretty sure he saw us taking these!! ahhh! lol
Thought the above picture was funny b/c in this my mom was looking through the binocualrs (as you can tell) and it was kinda a cute pose. Then after i took the picture i realized her purple wrapped up finger sticking up and i thought it would be a good memory for future days when we look back on this trip. :)
Then this one, we were just stoped in the parking lot for like 10 minutes. No body said anything, and no music was playing...it was just dead silent. It was like our parents fell asleep or something. I was pretty positive that's what happened until i spoke up and they told me they were writing out postcards. More to come!! :)

Okay - first of all, that motorcycle kid wasn't a "ukie" - he was a "wyoming" kid traveling around on his motorcycle. And ya, Justin is pretty incredible & he's american too - yeah!!! Oh, and great picture of me - I look wonderful, NOT! Although atleast people can't see my full face - that'd be scary! And yes, what good memories of my poor finger with the torn tendon. Something I'll never forget, especially since I'm still wearing the splint & it's been 7 weeks already! Looking forward to see the next set of pics. Next year you'll be showing vacation pics. of our Florida trip.
