The Trip There...Rush 2008!

We pulled over to switch drivers and...had the most bless-ed opportunity to meet one of the largest snakes I have ever encountered. As you can see, I wouldn't let the girls get too close...just in case it decided to attack. Serious.

She has the BEST! facial expressions and...where did those EYES come from?! Geck!

Sleeping Beauty and the borrowed (yet faithful...how does this thing make it in so many pics?!) sidekick...Scary (not sure of it's last bath) Blue (Brit's fave color) Baby Monster ("Monster" because it gives off this vibe of having the capacity to attack your lower leg at will.) I woke up a couple nights ago to find Brit (we had company...Brit likes my bed better anyway) totally and unabashedly cuddling with it. Brit...if you write it, I will insert a tribute...here.
And here it is....!
"okay. about the blue pillow. which you referred to as monster. I want to tell you its background. Two years it has been with me. At first when I recieved it as a bday present from a girly friend i was like..cool and threw it on my bed. Then slowly it became the only person/thing that was there for me all the time. Seriously. It was. It never ever left me. Okay this could get long. But ... about it sleeping with me. I need it. Well I have been without it and been okay. If you think okay is waking up and grabbing for it then sitting up and bed and staring at the wall...wishing I had my blue 'monster' or 'grovey' for grover on s. street. I love my blue pillow. In peru a man tried to buy it from me. 10 soles. which represented about 3 dollars American money. Uh..i wouldnt sell it for a thousand dollars."

Oh! So precious! Echo definitely reigned supreme this trip.

They were attempting to make Echo's leg resemble Brit's arm. Apparently, a four hour drive will get to ya.
