Goofy Pictures

Now I know that the last time I did this people were offended and I got a little tongue lashing but I believe that these pictures are worth it. I would have put a picture of myself in to show that I am not trying to be mean but, I have no photos of myself on my camera. So feel free to add your own bad photos. Notice that one other person is missing from the pictures. I decided that Lizzy has a tender soul and cannot bring herself to laugh at others. Therefore, I will not bring her into this. Plus, she was the one who gave me the tongue lashing and I don't care to go through that again.

This is my favorite goofy picture. Shelley is watching me and  Sara while we are waiting for our lunch.

This is josh laughing so hard he began to cough.  I know that he didn't want this picture posted but it was so funny I had to include it in my goofy picture blog.  

This was a group picture but I cropped it for full effect.

My dad doesn't like his picture taken so he either is making a funny face or has his eyes closed in almost all of my pictures of him.

Noah was doing an impression of Donald Trump.

Now Please have a sense of humor here. I just thought they were funny and I don't want to offend anyone. 

"I cannot live without books"-thomas jefferson

OK. I am utterly exhausted from our exertions of this one day. We woke up at 6 o'clock DC time (4 o'clock Utah) so that we could make it to our first tour of the day. We had a crappy motel so we made a mad dash across the street to a nicer hotel (with all of our luggage, at rush hour scary) I'm sure that Shelley will tell you all about that though. Anyway, Our first tour was the library of congress. Every book, movie, cartoon etc. WHATEVER you want is at the library of congress or within easy access. If you want your work copywrited you have to submit a copy to the library of congress. So you can imagine all the works that they have there. From there we went to the supreme court. The pictures are backwards so start from the bottom and go up. I started to describe the buildings but then realized that I started every description with, "It's the big tall white one with columns and stone carvings/statues." Not helpful sorry. The Supreme court is the one where we are sitting by the columns. (shelley is particularly impressed with the SC as you can tell in the picture of her by the column). from there we went to the Botanic Gardens my mom calls them botanical and my dad was not happy that we were in DC looking at plants. (that is where I snapped the lovely picture of sara with a leaf in her face. still cracks me up) Sara will have the pictures of those on her blog. From there we proceeded to lunch with our congress. the building was packed full of people in suits who were willing to pay horrendous amounts for a simple meal. However, we were starving so we did what we had to. We then walked across the street to the Capitol of our Nation and our next tour. Sara will also write about that. Our next destination was the National gallery of art. Let me just say that at this point we were flagging and we only got through half of the west wing before Lizzy collapsed on a couch and refused to go any further. We left her there with dad and the bags so we could at least get through the last 5 points of interest. One of these being shelley posing as a statue and josh showing the beautiful works of monet. We staggered to the Metro to try to comprehend the mess that is the public transportation in DC. we made it to the Union Station before we gave up to rest our tired legs. after a brief respite we got up most of us limping and gimping our way to the train. (we looked like a herd of grandpas playing it up for the greatest dramatic effect.) We made it to our NEW hotel even though it seemed as if we couldn't even make it across the street with a walker let alone half way across town. After josh had a slight skirmish with the desk clerk about the "hottub" (a utah word apparently) we made it to our room and ordered some great Chineese delivery. That is the sumation of our day and I look forward to the rest of the week. More pics and adventures to come I'm sure!

Friday Night

Well this week has been full of fun and entertaining moments provided mostly by Banner and Tennyson. "From all that I can collect by your manner of talking, you must be two of the silliest girls in the country. I have suspected it some time, but I am now convinced...[I] think our two youngest daughters uncommonly foolish.'' I thought that qoute from pride and prejudice very apropos to those two. However, nothing could top our friday night of fun. If you are thinnking to yourself..."hmmm I bet that they watched Riverdance" then You would be right. If you have never had the experience of watching Riverdance with Tennyson, Banner and Dennis then you have not had a true Riverdance experience. Anyway, there was no seriousness to the event. I usually like to watch riverdance with an analytic frame of mind. But, what with all the "Fluffy" shirt and tight pants comments it was very difficult to take the movie seriously. I happen to like Lathario's tight pants thank you very much it goes well with the golden mullet. I wish that he would wink at me;-) Later we tried to do Tenny's hair like the girl who sings lets just say that it turned out well. the second picture is my favorite.

I laughed so hard I was crying. The video isn't the best quality i wish you could all have seen her in person.

HOLA

Holy COW! This semester has dragged on like no other semester has. I just got done today with all of my papers. I am now a free woman. What a relief. Two more days of work then I am off scott free for 3 weeks. In case you didn't know the apple store is closing for three weeks of remodel so I am going home for a very long vacation. I'm so glad that the break came at the same time the remodel is going on. What a coincidence. Nothing has really happened in my life besides school. So that is all I have to say until three weeks from today when I will have much more to report. Such as what Washington DC is like and also what my new classes are like and finally what my new job looks like. That is an exciting time to look forward to. I hope that you are all well and I'm excited to see most of you at some point in the next few weeks. 

P.S. For those of you who have a mac and looooove photobooth as much as me here are some pictures that you might appreciate.
