Cody was the first victim! He had a blast..... who wouldn't sliding behind the 4-wheeler with snow flying into your face?! :) It is tons of fun! Although there are no pictures to prove it, I did take my turn on the tube and the sled!<br />

Now I had tons more photos I wanted to share, but Google tells me my free picture storage is all used up?! :(<br />
Have a series of Cody getting suck and rescued by his dad. Have a bunch of the kids flying down a huge hill on the sled. Some fun ones of Cody acting as a horse and pulling Scott behind him.<br />
Go <a href="http://liveinthebadlands.wordpress.com/">here</a> to see the rest of the photos, thanks.<br />

He has improved 500 times since last season. His first match of the year was won with a pin! I wasn't able to be there to see it, but I am so proud of his accomplishments. While we were gone to Vegas he had 2 big meets and a dual. Since we've been home he's had 2 home duals and a big meet in Dickinson North Dakota. His first home dual against The Hardin Bulldogs brought him another pin in 48 seconds! We were cheering our hearts out!<br />

The big Invite at Dickinson we were unable to attend (it is tough to get the crew out for 2 full days of wrestling with school and the drive and the cost of food and admission for 6 people!). Cody texted as soon as his first match was over, another pin!!! And then Saturday he texted with 2 more pins! Bringing his total for the season thus far up to 5! Last year he ended the season with just one pin. This past Tuesday they had their second home dual against the Glasgow Scotties. They proved to be a tough team. Every guy had to fight hard for his points and or pin. <br />

First we heard there were weather issues and a few flights to the general area were cancelled. Then our plane had troubles and they had to switch it out twice! Finally at 9:30 we got to board the plane home. We flew from Denver to Gillette, WY to drop two passengers, fuel up and de-ice. The pilot told us that he slid the plane into the disembarking area and then warned the ground crew that if we were unable to land in Glendive we'd be back! Thankfully we landed in Glendive without a hitch the big storm slated for the area had missed us! We got home about 12:30 AM to a house full of sleeping kids and one grateful sitter who could go home and sleep in her own bed! We are ever grateful to those who watched our kids for the week so we could both go to Vegas for Nana's services and that we could visit with family and friends while there.<br />

Nana lived most of her life in North Las Vegas, Nevada and so back to Vegas she went to be laid to rest next to her husband. I greatly desired to accompany Troy and his parents to Vegas for the services, as I was unable to attend Papa's services a few years before. Anyone with kids will agree that finding a sitter for your kids is stressful work and to find one willing to spend a week with your children is near impossible. I fretted for a couple of days and talked it over with Troy about who we could ask to take on such a daunting task, finally we came up with the perfect person to ask. Right after we settled on her, another friend called to say that she would be willing to help us out (after-all her husband did volunteer her). I told her I thought I had another friend who could stay the night with the kids and I'd call her to work out the details after I chatted with the other friend. I called the lady we had settled on at work and she said she would love to help us out and could stay with them for the week! I had a third lady who stayed the first night with them and made sure they got to church on Sunday. Yay! I could go! I set to the task of figuring out my life and the kids' lives for the next week..... I kid you not, I had a stress headache for 2 days and was pretty sure I couldn't ask so much of these ladies! They assured me they were up for the challenge.<br />
So bright and early Saturday the 4th of December, we set out for Vegas, a mere 1,276 mile trip - by car.<br />

I loved the old barn up on the rolling hills and quick snapped a photo.<br />
We only got as far as Pocatello the first day. The worst roads we had were within 2 hours of home. There were a couple of patchy ice spots in Idaho. Troy was razzing his mom the whole way down, we will laugh for a while because of those "icy" spots in ID and UT! :)<br />

We had to make a pit stop somewhere south of Salt Lake. As we walked back to the car I saw how the flag hung with the mountains in the background and composed this shot.<br />

We met Troy's uncle for lunch in Beaver, UT. He was headed home from his trucking run.<br />

I do love the rugged mountains that surround Vegas. There's a certain tug on me for the desert...... especially when I know how cold it is at home in Montana!<br />
After a wonderful dinner with Aunt Claudia, Uncle Byron and Troy's parents, we settled in for the night at our gracious host's house. (Thanks again for everything Aunt Claudia and Unc!)<br />
The following morning after breakfast, showers and visiting, we went shopping with the fam and then set out to see if we could remember how to get around in this town! So much has changed in 10 years!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFi7G8awFwmBaOWuJQGVrYQaPwRs3UpGPCkK95gLSWfbTvDXebyv9nCORGxxbNFtyajR4KouX8hTMt5mw2gMTwvQ3tIwcWQPK79AaSuW6tH1e3KCbK2QKEb_3ZNd5tomChZD5hD7CuQyTC/s1600/IMG_2442e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFi7G8awFwmBaOWuJQGVrYQaPwRs3UpGPCkK95gLSWfbTvDXebyv9nCORGxxbNFtyajR4KouX8hTMt5mw2gMTwvQ3tIwcWQPK79AaSuW6tH1e3KCbK2QKEb_3ZNd5tomChZD5hD7CuQyTC/s400/IMG_2442e.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>The first place we checked out was the home Troy grew up in. Not quite how he remembered it...... the grass was always green and boy have those trees grown! They were planted for our wedding reception 17 1/2 years ago! It is kinda sad, the house is being foreclosed as the current owners haven't been paying the mortgage.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8J_kgGu0xkgCUsFn4MrevDe3plmnC4z1klpE0jeVNUu3d1LLG6tHDCBmEBdhm4bDl2zSrHRiBpZO2oB2g54FrdrMo9HUfzbGPZHP7dhdw-TjKyWIXxnoqawIgrLcpIcaAmOR59xMXP_Hs/s1600/IMG_2444e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8J_kgGu0xkgCUsFn4MrevDe3plmnC4z1klpE0jeVNUu3d1LLG6tHDCBmEBdhm4bDl2zSrHRiBpZO2oB2g54FrdrMo9HUfzbGPZHP7dhdw-TjKyWIXxnoqawIgrLcpIcaAmOR59xMXP_Hs/s400/IMG_2444e.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> Next we had to go check out our old place. We bought this place in 1998 and watched it go from a desert lot into our home. The tree in the front yard and the evergreen next to the garage we planted and they were tiny! My, what 10 years will do for the trees!!<br />

You used to have a pretty awesome view from the temple grounds of the city, but the vegetation has grown so much that this is the best you get! It is still kind of a neat view.<br />
As we wandered around the grounds and I took photos, 4 missionaries were also there doing the same. One of them asked if I would take a few photos of them all as transfers were coming up, of course I did.<br />

Helps me remember that it is December and that Christmas is right around the corner. I had the hardest time with that when we resided in the desert, it didn't "feel" like Christmas because there wasn't snow nor super cold!<br />

On a whim we drove by an old buddy of Troy's and he happened to be home so we stopped by for a visit. It was nice catching up with them.<br />
After we left his house we headed to meet Troy's parents, cousins and his uncle for dinner at Macyos. We had a nice dinner and visit.<br />

For a few reasons I kept it and am sharing it: 1) Vegas to most is about the downtown entertainment (gambling and so forth) and 2) when you've spent too much time in that environment, you are probably seeing double! :)<br />
After dinner, we went home and visited a bit with Aunt C and Unc before retiring for the evening.<br />

It was nice to see them and to catch up with what's been happening. Facebooking is nice, but there's nothing like an in your face visit!<br />
Tuesday evening was the viewing.<br />

It was a nice gathering and I met some of the extended family for the first time. There were some who were apprehensive at first to go in and have a peek, but eventually all paid their respects. Troy offered a nice family prayer and afterwards I covered her face with her veil and everyone stepped out for a little more visiting.<br />
The following morning was the graveside service.<br />

Troy with cousins (Aunt Claudia's two daughters). We had a wonderful time with all the family and friends who came. Had a nice time just chatting with cousins and Aunt C and Unc.<br />
After another good night's sleep we planned our last day in Vegas. Tried to visit with as many friends and family as we could cram into the week!<br />

Snap in mid hug, followed by a "don't post that on Facebook"! And I ended it with: "Actually I was thinking of using it on my blog."<br />
Life is about the legacy you leave behind with those you love and who love you, so live life with love in your heart and on your face. Serve others with a smile and do what's right, because it's right.<br />

Last Tuesday we had the District Eleven Gala Honors Concert. Two weeks before the concert, Shantel came home from school and said, "I gotta tell ya something." <br />
Thinking it might be grade related, I said, "You can tell me after the others head to bed if you want to." <br />
She looked at me like I was crazy and said, "Mrs. S called me into her office during choir and I thought I was in trouble. She closed the door and said, 'If I had an opening in honors choir would you like to fill it?' I told her I didn't try out, but she said, 'I have an opening and I need a strong alto.' So I said yes I want to be in honors choir!" <br />
I thought that was pretty cool. On last Monday the schools in district 11 descended upon Dawson High and practiced all through two school days, and then performed a fantastic concert!<br />

The last the perform was the Honor Band. I didn't take an photos of the band, I find it rather difficult to capture a band in that auditorium. The played 3 pieces: The King Across the Water, Lux Arumque and Black Horse Troop. The first was very cool because half the band were playing "drums" The woodwinds all had a bucket and drum sticks, it was an outstanding way to get them going and it sounded fantastic! Of course, I am a drummer and really do enjoy a good beat! <br />

Last Saturday, was the girl's choice formal, Co-Ed. Shantel really REALLY wanted to go and we discussed it and said she could go to the dance but not with a date, as she is too young for dating. She bought a solo ticket. I did her hair and her nails, she just stayed home and ate dinner with us, then we took her to the school to meet up with her friends. <br />

At formal dances here, they have a grand march..... right out of a fair tale, like Cinderella. They announce each girl and her escort. Shantel was escorted by the neighbor kid. They march across the stage meeting in the middle and he hands her a flower, takes her arm and they march down the steps.<br />

Before we entered the room, we sat down in the living room where Grandma and Grandpa explained how Nana has not really eaten the last few days, despite their efforts to feed her and that she is unresponsive to touch or talk, and that it just might be time for her to return Home. Some of the kids were not really hip on going into the room and basically saying good-bye. I was able to convince them to step into the room for a photo. (Robby was sleeping over at a friend's house.)<br />

Scott stepped up next to her, but didn't touch her. She was breathing and sleeping and we're not sure she knew we were there. I think this helps us to let her go, when she is ready.<br />

When Grandpa went in to check on her later, Em was right there to see if her Nana was still breathing. Life lessons are hard on the young and the old. Each of us is allotted our time here on earth, we must love and cherish those placed in our timeline.<br />

P.S. Nana was called home today, 11-27-10.<br />

EmmaLece has a special love for Nana. Anytime we are over to Grandma and Grandpa's she always makes sure to go say "Hi" to her and have a little chat with her. After that she runs off to play or watch tv or whatever else she can find to do.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLxN_GPAgz9JtwE0UYvyDPGqr7zilT7jUztpVN7_cmVAZXB5I4cFpA3gAFmjxj6bsth_HvhK9sNdaRZ4G88hptIP4q566fzoPsrv6xN2lqybSo_QwIUFvY0PlkpJHYYoI89CDrfnq8NvBE/s1600/IMG_2120.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLxN_GPAgz9JtwE0UYvyDPGqr7zilT7jUztpVN7_cmVAZXB5I4cFpA3gAFmjxj6bsth_HvhK9sNdaRZ4G88hptIP4q566fzoPsrv6xN2lqybSo_QwIUFvY0PlkpJHYYoI89CDrfnq8NvBE/s400/IMG_2120.jpg" width="266" /></a></div> Once it is time to eat, she magically reappears and is ready to get Nana's bib on her and to help her to the table.<br />
Last Sunday evening, as we were all getting up to the table, here came Em beating Grandma to Nana's chair and holding out her hands to help her up. It is so sweet that we nearly have tears spring to our eyes.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp8bbx9GJKTFWdl8PsKpEpIgbMhffVOt-_Das5zOvSgtscaU4nY7tJJjjPLmlxNUsF_NdQg1hNoSzp5fMHaKa6IAIYoS7H9WR81LDWSstZPbq1KrCWMXny34RXksX658Ik4Cye6v8U3O2f/s1600/IMG_2121.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp8bbx9GJKTFWdl8PsKpEpIgbMhffVOt-_Das5zOvSgtscaU4nY7tJJjjPLmlxNUsF_NdQg1hNoSzp5fMHaKa6IAIYoS7H9WR81LDWSstZPbq1KrCWMXny34RXksX658Ik4Cye6v8U3O2f/s400/IMG_2121.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>Together, they make their way to the table.... the young and the old! Each one thinking she is helping the other. EmmaLece gets her settled onto her chair making sure she is in the right chair and properly clothed in her bib before she finds her own chair. <br />
As they made their way to the table, Grandma and I were walking behind and We both saw what a precious photo this will be in future years. I quickly got out the camera to record the moment. One day EmmaLece will look back at these photos and the tears just may spring to her eyes as they did ours. <br />
Never underestimate the power of youth! or the wise council to be like a little child! <br />

We don't often do such things, we normally type up a letter and include some pix. This year we wanted to do family photos. What I learned is that it is much easier to photograph someone else's family! <br />
<br />

The twins wanted to sit up there so we gathered around and I set it up, put the timer on and ran back to get in position. I can't tell how stiff or relaxed I look until after the shot is taken! <br />

On Saturday, I realized that I didn't take a picture of myself dressed up, so I had to remedy that. I drug Savanna up to my little studio space and set the camera up on the tripod had her stand there so I could adjust the settings and then had her snap a few photos of me.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Wp0dcRzZ51oYSenEOQBGa_nnAUzYOn7TMn_NTVi7-U4XIQITCl9jmsjyNojFOuPBcVEClHUuPz-lkO_Ef0NNuIMxts5OH1x0ATNaylbTKM_CYVm34aV7PJCzEbwaoIsrxMMmFMeb0kQ4/s1600/IMG_1999.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Wp0dcRzZ51oYSenEOQBGa_nnAUzYOn7TMn_NTVi7-U4XIQITCl9jmsjyNojFOuPBcVEClHUuPz-lkO_Ef0NNuIMxts5OH1x0ATNaylbTKM_CYVm34aV7PJCzEbwaoIsrxMMmFMeb0kQ4/s400/IMG_1999.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>So who was I? My sister guessed The Lady in White, a kid at the trunk or treat guessed Cleopatra, a few others guessed a Greek goddess and one thought I was Aphrodite. Any of those are just fine with me, but the costume said it was a Roman Princess.<br />
Savanna and I carved a pumpkin Saturday evening. She picked the patterns and we each tried our hand at it. Isn't our pumpkin spider cute?<br />

(Six years ago I was using a borrowed camera, because I was between cameras and trying to make a decision on what kind to get. Please forgive the quality of these first 2 photos!) Cody made his first real project for school and boy was it a project for both of us! He did a cliff dwelling. We got a shoe box and covered it with paper mache, then painted it. We made bricks with a bake dough and painted them. We visited the hardware store and got some tiny fake tree branches and cut them down to size. It really did look pretty cool, wish the photos were better so you could see.<br />

Five years ago, Shantel wanted to make a dwelling like Cody had and she wanted it to go to the fair and win a purple ribbon! She's not competitive! :) She worked very hard on her Long House. First she and Grandma went to the dump and wallered around searching for bark to properly cover her house. We needed to build a pole structure and skewers lashed together with twist ties work nicely. Thank goodness for hot glue, as it held her house together.<br />

Two years ago it was Savanna's turn. Her teacher said she would like them to not make a dwelling so Savanna opted for a Coup Stick. After researching it on the net we did our best with what we had on hand. some string to pass as leather and beads and some collected feathers.<br />

Now this year is Robby's turn. He chose to follow Savanna {I see a pattern here :) } and make a Coup Stick. He also had to do some internet research and then set to work.<br />

Now he didn't have any luck hunting feathers outside so he had to settle for some recently removed pink ones from a dress-up boa! He teacher loved the pink feathers.<br />

That is not really a surprise since we have already had snow! I am glad that the sun has returned and that the snow has left for a while. I'm glad to enjoy the cooler days but not at all ready for the cold of winter. We have a very weather sensitive tree, I've no idea what kind of tree it is but it is always the first to release it's leaves every year. On Monday after school the twins and I went out to enjoy the perfect day. They were SO excited to have the leaves on the ground that they WANTED to rake them all up!<br />

They were outstanding! They played todays country hits as well as a few from back in the day. They really kicked it up in their blue grass songs as well. Most of those songs were written by the band members.<br />
(all these pictures were taken w/o flash)<br />

In order to do that one must have a steady hand and bump up the ISO. (you could have a tripod and that would be easier.... but I didn't bring any of the 3 I own....) <br />

About half way thru the concert, I couldn't sit still any longer, but the problem was that I happened to be in the middle of the row. My feet were antsy and I really wanted to get up front and take pictures from there.<br />

He posed for me, and as luck would have it, the photo actually turned out!! A few years ago another military band came and performed, but you weren't allowed to take photos, so I was excited to be able to take pictures at this one.<br />

When they were playing the blue grass music, he traded his guitar for this cello thing which is actually called a string bass. I so wanted to be closer at that time to get some shot of the string bass, but he was towards the back of the stage and I couldn't get any good ones. :(<br />

When he was introduced, they said he is the comedian of the group! He was kinda funny when he took a few mins to chat with us. They played all the songs for each branch of the service and had those who have served, are serving or had family members who are or had been in each branch stand when they played their song. It was very cool. I took pictures of the crowd, but they were very VERY grainy so I'm not posting them. Afterwards they came down and visited with any who wanted to visit. I got a few decent shots of the kids shaking hands.<br />

It is quite the hike down and not much for rails or protection should you slip. The trail zig zags down the mountain. I couldn't believe I saw people carrying kids on their shoulders and even a guy pushing a stroller. I was glad my little kids were back at camp, it was making me nervous!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

We split up this day. Some stayed in camp and others went back into the park. Ryanne and her kiddos stayed behind to find a stream to play in. My kids really wanted to stay and play in the water as well, so Troy said it would be fine if I wanted to return to the park. My parents had also had enough walking in the heat and kicked it in camp. Troy's parents came up to camp and hung out with the kids and enjoyed the day.<br />

I really liked the cool bubbling waters in the foreground and the majestic mountains in the back. I'm pretty sure I was laying on the walkway for this shot.<br />

I just loved these twin geysers. They were continually shooting up the tiny streams of water.<br />

That is just what we did. Colleen chose to walk back with her husband and the rest of us headed back to the van. We had a little snack of cookie dough while we waited for them to catch up. That's where I'll leave you for this week. Be sure to come back next week for the rest of my views of Yellowstone.<br />

It has two big runoff areas and they are amazing beautiful. The sun was high and harsh, things were getting blown out until My sister and I conferred on how to fix the problem and I learned a little more, changed some settings and played until I was pleased with the outcome.<br />

The last time the geysers got working and shot out of it must have been spectacular. Wish my brother-in-law were here to give me the details, he read the signs and watch me lay down on the walkways and contort myself in order to get the "perfect" photo. The steam was so thick that getting a good shot of the many bubbling spouts was difficult. <br />
This area was not a favorite of Scott's he told me it was WAY too hot and kinda stinky too, poor kid. All the younger kids were tired and some of the adults also had had it, so those who were done went back to camp and the others kept on seeing the sights.<br />

I've not missed a week since the meme was started so I may be a day late and a dollar short and no one may come to read it but here it is:<br />
We ate breakfast and split up into vehicles and headed into Yellowstone National Park for some sight seeing family fun. Many of the group had not been there ever and for some it had been a very long time.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAsuT9OUACC2yREoDCU1_Ykb1foOllE3ZvVXUbEDvQUp4zQCtU8tTTlFJfUuT1AnjehOrbHHhkRlWanLhEDBIZlmURfHkxf5-3rcSh6S4hucdkSJTA2UN1E0Wdnb8h5Dn7NBajWCFvMyrs/s1600/IMG_9984.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAsuT9OUACC2yREoDCU1_Ykb1foOllE3ZvVXUbEDvQUp4zQCtU8tTTlFJfUuT1AnjehOrbHHhkRlWanLhEDBIZlmURfHkxf5-3rcSh6S4hucdkSJTA2UN1E0Wdnb8h5Dn7NBajWCFvMyrs/s400/IMG_9984.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Random out the window shot of a river. By the end of the day we were all wishing for some cool water to jump into.<br />

We got there is good time and didn't have to wait long for the water show. This shot is not at its peak, but I liked the way it came out considering I had a perfect place until the rude guy stood in front of me.... grrrrrrr!<br />

The call of the water was too great for some to resist, and Javin HAD to go touch it. All the kids wanted to jump in for a swim and there were many people doing just that.<br />

Unfortunately, not all the family could make it. None of my 4 brothers and families nor my youngest sister and her family were able to attend. In addition to all of them, we also had to leave behind our oldest, Cody. He had to attend a defensive driving course as a result of his hitting a parked car and failing to report the accident by quickest means...... as in he pretended it didn't happen until the damage to his car was seen by Grandpa!

Of course with kids you have to stop often for potty breaks. While everyone was taking their break, I was taking photos. This one is looking west, the direction we were headed...... looks like rain,<br />

My mom called to see where we were and then lost service so we headed into this storm and found a campground to ask for directions and turns out we were close. We continued on and found the campground, but my parents were not there yet. We set up camp and eventually we see my parents RV pull up without the vehicle they were towing. My mom was worried about us and they decided to go looking for us. She called Troy's parents and they got worried about us and put the highway patrol on the lookout for us! The cell service is spotty at best in that area. Next morning when we had service again we both had many messages from them and Troy's co-workers worried about us! :) we got a good laugh about it! :D<br />

They were not quite sure of the location either, we were all thinking it was closer to the park. The campground was nice and it was very pretty there, but it did happen to be about 1/2 hour from Yellowstone. Anyway they drove all the way to West Yellowstone and then came back. We had a nice dinner of hot dogs and sausages with Bushes grillin' beans, then topped it off with S'mores. <br />

They played the Casper Ghosts. The mascot hyped up the crowd in his ghostbusting gear while they played the Ghostbusters song. we had good seats for watching the game but the fence sure got in the way for taking pictures!<br />

We felt a few drops, then the whole other side of the stands started running.... hail was coming down. It wasn't long before our side was hit as well. We pulled out our umbrella and started making our way to the truck. We were soaked before we made it half way there! I threw my camera bag over my shoulder and ran for it! Dried off my bag and went to rescue Troy from the downpour.<br />

We spent most of the day with them and then headed back to the motel to pack up. Thursday after meeting with the drs and getting the OK to head home, that is what we did. We met up with Troy's parents and some cousins for dinner and a movie before getting back to real life. We saw Grown Ups and it was pretty funny!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Standing outside the theater just chatting and the clouds were looking pretty cool. The lightning was flashing and I was sure we would get dumped on again.<br />
