Getting our kicks on Route 66!

This picture went off when we were running away from the donkeys.
These two pictures were the first couple of seconds. Tayton liked this part but as soon as the other 8 donkeys came he was done. I wish I could have gotton some pictures of the 10 donkeys but I had to pick Tayton up so they wouldn't step on him.





I have to tell you about mine and Taytons trip last weekend. Levi had to work so we decided we would go to Oatman, Arizona. It is about a 1/2 hour away from where we live, it is a tiny town right on Route 66. We got there and Route 66 was closed because there was a wedding in the middle of the road. The person that married them was dressed like a bank robber or something I don't know. When he pronounced them man and wife they started shooting guns up in the air. I wasn't sure if it was a real wedding or not but it was. It was the funniest wedding I had ever seen.



Anyway in this little town they have donkeys that just run wild. The stores sell carrots so I thought it would be a fun idea to go feed the donkeys. Well we pulled out the carrots and about 10 donkeys surrounded us. The carrots were gone in about 10 seconds. Then the donkeys decided they weren't done. They started biting Taytons shirt, pants, my purse, and my butt! It was kind of scary. I started running down Route 66 to get away from the donkeys but they just kept following us. Tayton started crying and I didn't know what to do. (I had never been chased by hungry wild donkeys before.) Luckily we ran into one of the stores and Tayton said good they can't eat us in here. It was pretty funny. We waited about 5 minutes in the store until another fool with carrots came and they started to attack them. It was really funny to watch. So be careful if you are every cruisin on Route 66. Don't feed the donkeys! We had a great time though.

Merry Christmas

Season Greetings!


For Family night we went to the chocolate factory in Henderson where they have a big cactus garden. The have lights everywhere. It is so pretty. I have never seen cactus's with lights on them. I feel bad for the people who have to put the lights on and off, ouch. Tayton had so much fun. He loves the lights!
