what you do on the fun run

sometimes you need to take a super loud hot rod out on the interstate and enjoy yourself. 
even when it's unseasonably cold in the month of may and the car doesn't have windows.
even if it seems you could be taking years off your ears with the loud rumble of the engine.

you take along the proper snacks

you take as many pictures as possible.....especially when your name is skye and you tend to do that anyway.

seriously, you take a picture every minute and the scene looks mostly the same but you keep taking them just in case you get a really wonderful shot.
not that this is a wonderful shot but it didn't stop me.
you get nervous every time you pass a diesel because you realize the vehicle you are in could fit underneath that thing pretty easily.

you take pictures of the friends you are cruising with when you pass them.

you think a lot because having a decent conversation with all the noise is pretty much out of the question.
so you take a picture of these big thingies, whatever they are called, and recall that during your childhood when you drove past one staring out of the backseat you thought about how much it really looked like a giant robot to you.
and they seemed like slightly scary giant robots.

when you get to seligman you admire the sights of the quaint little town.

you look at the clouds and keep thinking as you are wearing 4 layers of clothing and teeth are still chattering that it's ten times better to be cold instead of hot.

you take a picture with your husband in front of a clunky rusted old truck that in your opinion is a really cute truck.

then you admire this rusty old car and take a billion pictures of it inside and out because it is just so cool

then you have your husband pose in front of it.

you daydream about this being the perfect location to take one year anniversary pictures.

and you just really enjoy your day with your favorite person because it's hard not to.

  1. It's funny how every kid is different. The "big thingies" looked like huge dresses to me when I was little. (Not the exact same ones you took a picture of, but similar ones) Now Paige says they're big kitties "with ears". Ha.

  2. It is funny because you are not a sci-fi person.........but they do look like robots. Way, way, back when I was a little girl they looked less roboty......they looked like crosses and I did not like them at all. They seemed scary and sad at the same time. I like Paige's version (big kitties with ears) :)
