get it done!

we have been trying to play catch up, and make up for some lost time... we got into texas at about 315 this afternoon... and if anyone was hoping it was gonna get exciting has obviously never been on the I 40. ha!




this guy is advertising a 72 oz steak! that cow boy is nuts! really and truly, 72 OZ's! how insane! im pretty sure if you eat it all its free, but thats the whole side of the cow!




when we got to amarillo, we decided to get lunch, and stretch our legs a little bit. so we went to schlotzkys for a sandwich, and then got back onto the freeway... my sandwich was soo awesome, i didnt realize how hungry i was!



this was right next to the gas station, i thought it was hilarious! look at the top left corner of the van, the shark bit it! hahaha!



on they way out of amarillo i wanted to go to the cadillac graveyard. i have seen it several times on the travel channel that i love to watch. so i figured we would stop. i asked the lady at the gas station, and she said just go west on the 40, and just outside of town it will be on the south side of the road, you wont be able to miss it! and she was sure right! there it was in all its glory just as she had promised! we got off at exit 60, and went to go see what all the fuss was about!










danielle got it into her brain that she wanted to climb on top of a hay bail... she never has, and really really wanted to. so fortunately for us, there were some unguarded, unfenced ones, calling her name...





she yanked and pulled with all her might! after she struggled for a bit, and i had a good chuckle, i gave her a boost and helped her up. she giggled and said "i didnt know there were so big!" she had underestimated their size... the only ones she had ever seen were from the highway!











well, we being city girls, had no idea that there were stickers in the hay! oh, my gosh! they were stuck everywhere! danielle had it worse than i did, cause she had climbed up on the dang thing and had stickers in places they absolutely should not be! mine were all in my feet! it was terrible! the evil little stickers attacked us!







we ran back to the car and tried to get all the bastards out, but i think i still have some splinters stuck in my finger and feet! danielle was over on the side of the truck with her pants off trying to get them out of all her parts!! hahaha! what a terrible idea! haha! i donated my socks to the great state of texas, there was no way all those stickers were coming out!
