Random pics over the last 2 months

Can't believe it's been two months since I've blogged. I've been writing faithfully in my journal regarding my pregnancy so I guess I don't feel like documenting at two places. I've been sick the last two days and am home from work so now I have no excuse to get caught up. We went to this really yummy pizza place called Saggio's and they had a live accordion player. He was awesome. Had to snap a picture for my sister who used to play.

At the end of July I went hiking with some friends. We had to keep crossing the river so we all got wet but it was really fun and beautiful. We had about an hour drive back home so we stopped in this teeny town to eat dinner. We got to enjoy watching some of the Olympics on their huge screen.

 Just an odd sign I came across while driving..

 I drive each day to and from work on the old Route 66. At night it lights up. Pretty cool.

For August's pack meeting we got to ride horses and do service at a horse boarding ranch. Here's a cute baby husky and teeny tiny newborn kittens.

Olympic Q & A

While watching the olympics i keep asking so many questions. why do they do this? what do they do that for? Well, i thought i'd find out the answers instead of just thinking they're weird. ya ready?

Q1. Do snowboarders wear jeans?
           Exhibit A

i don't know about you, but those look like jeans to me! They seem to be popular this time around and i have to admit, if i was a snowboarder i'd wear them too! I found these sessions rebel denim online for $229.95

A: No, but they sure look like jeans! made me do a 180 (get it?)

Q2: Why do speed skaters wear sunglasses?
         Exhibit B

it sure couldn't be to make them look sexy...

A: according to mentalfloss it’s not very pleasant to have wind blowing in your eyes or drying out your contacts.  Also, it's to protect any flying ice or debri and keeps them focused on the track. By the way, mental floss has other cool "wow! i never knew that!" stuff. check it out.

I couldn't find the answers to a few of my other questions so if anyone knows what the speedskater coaches show them on their clipboards during the final lap or what Shani Davis' workout is, please let me know! If not, enjoy the rest of the Olympics! We are loving them!
