the best day

Sometimes when your ex husband is a trucker, you get to drive for a long time to a different place to retrieve your children...
Like yesterday when I got to drive 6 hours (round trip) to Rock Springs, Wyoming.  It was a beautiful day for a Sunday drive... a very long Sunday drive.
But it was fun to shake it up a bit and go somewhere different.

 And since Ft. Bridger is on the way, we decided to stop and see what we could see.

I'm a little frustrated though, I took some fun pictures of my girls with these old, neat structures, and they're no where to be found on my phone.  Grrrr.
I'm pretty upset about this. 

We stopped to pay and found the price to be extremely cheap.  As in $4 for non-Wyoming residents... and that's only for those over 18 years.  Under 18 was free.  I tried to hand them my debit card and was told that it was really hard for them to run a card, did I have cash?  Psh.  I never have cash.  I looked in my wallet and pulled out $2.  "I have $2 or a debit card."
The price for a Wyoming resident happened to be $2.  Congratulations, today you are a Wyoming resident.  Welcome to Fort Bridger.







Bear trap... bears scare me.





The entire drive we were surrounded by beautiful clouds that floated all around us as we drove.

We found shapes in the clouds all the way home.  My favorites were
an elephant,
venus fly trap,
flying rabbit,
a hand doing a peace sign,
a dragon blowing smoke.
The girls saw some pretty fun things floating around up there.

Exhaustion eventually settled in on The Circus:



I'm posting this song, because it's my song with my girls, and we hear it every time we take our long drives thanks to the iPod.  It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it, and I hope they'll always feel this way.
