trip continued

on the way to ogden, we came across a dead skunk.
upon smelling the skunk, dad said, "someone farted!" shannon, age 6, responded, "no one farted, that's bird poop!"

road signs seen on trip:
headlights on when wipers are needed. (i thought that was common sense, apparently not.)
construction fines higher when workers are present. (that one makes a ton of sense!)

other random funnies...
shaun, "when you put it (the cellphone) on airplane mode..."
nadia, "it charges faster."
taylor, " that's because a plane is faster than a car."

shaun on seeing a random pond in wyoming, "look, it's wyomings version of a humidifier

a massive bus-like motorhome in front of us was burning oil. nadia, "hello, burny."

we saw a shooting star at 5:30 am. (that was WAY cool!)

strange thoughts i had on the trip...
*when it comes to cheetos, name brand really is the to go... (the off brand ones tasted stale, and nasty)
*nebraska is dreary no matter the time of day you cross it.
*retread (tires from a semi) look an awful lot like a beached whale
*contrary to the movie red2, i'm not sure ANY car can fit under a semi truck while driving.
*i wonder what roadkill stew would taste like, using the skunk, possum, deer, porcupine, and raccoon we saw
*seeing llamas and cows in the same pasture, i wonder what you would call a cow llama mix?
*i wonder what it would be like to witness a gully washer (not be in one, just see it)?
*i'm so glad the freeway in wyoming is not free range!
