muddin :D

the very first morning sam & abby were here, i introduced

them to a talent one would not think me efficient at, but

definitely an existent one: getting stuck. :) after going over

to my grandpa's and working on the 4wheeler (well, sam

was working on it...grandpa was..."helping" :)...his idea of

new sparkplugs are ones that come out of the oven and then

are "as good as new" ;) anyway, they finally got it going so we

drove around grandpa's woods for a little bit, then went down to a

pond & woods down the road. i assure you i've driven through

there before, but...it's been a while, and back when there

was a visable path. evidentally the already narrow bank that

goes between the pond and the river has been hollowed out by

a beaver so it was a good thing we just got across...after that

i chickened out and wanted to turn around but sam said he'd

drive. he did great, but neither of us knew where we were

going...you'd be surprised at the stuff that thing can drive

through...i guess the path didn't go straight through the

thicket thing, but...it does now. anyway,we went back

to my place after that by following field driveways

(or...just..fields). we picked up abby who had just gotten

out of the shower (but didn't stay clean for long...oops) and

i decided to show them this cool place down in the woods by

our river. sam was driving, but i'll take the blame

i guess...apparently the last time i was down there it wasn't

spring and the mud wasn't knee deep. so yeah...we got

stuck...abby and i both had flip flops on and finally decided

to ditch them being it was more work trying to keep

them on. then of course we had to find something sharp

in the mud and slice our feet open...ahem....oops...sorry

bout that ab. : anyway, after abby & i took turns

gunning the throttle while the other one "helped" sam

push, i could tell that two girls weren't enough help being

the mud was over the tires so i convinced sam to let me go

get mike...an expert in getting out all the things

i get stuck ;). so ab & i limped back to the house

and eventually heard the 4wheeler come back in to the

yard outside. we tried to help the guys wash the 4wheeler off,

but at times abby & i were mysteriously getting wetter

than the 4wheeler so we just watched. :) sam would

want me to specify that the pictures were taken AFTER he

hosed himself off, so really it was even worse than that. :)

haha. (and I would like to specify that the huge glob of

mud on my face was not from no 4wheeler. :) after that

we went from mud to dust when sam did about 3 thousand

donuts on our road...the dust is still settling btw...i

can almost see our neighbor's place. and it's fun to

see passing cars try to get over the deep circley-ruts

for a mile to the west & east...hahahaha! jk. anyway,

wow...i should stop talking one of these hours...obviously,

that was a fun day. :) sam, never underestimate

the stupidity of a blonde. (hey can we go snowmobiling?!)
