When I promised Kristi that I would visit her over the summer, there were a couple of things that she promised me we would do. We would go horse back riding, country dancing, and drive tractors. When I called her to tell her I was coming she told me that she already had plans to go horse back riding on Monday and that she would also get a group together to have a bonfire.
We woke up Monday morning and called the friend that we were supposed to go horse back riding with, but something came up and she wasn't going to be able to take us that day. That's okay, we would just see if she could do it tomorrow. The only problem was that now we had to figure out something else to do. Kristi told me that she had already called up some friends to have a bonfire on Tuesday, but she hadn't figured out where we should have it yet. We were either going to do it out by the river or go to the ice caves. My vote was for the ice caves, that sounded pretty sweet.
Kristi told me that she wanted to go check out the river to see what the roads looked like. The reason she's most often out by the river is because she goes driving through the mud with her friends with trucks. So we had to check the roads to see if someone who was in a little ole car could make it out there okay. But she borrowed her brother's jeep, so I know that she really hoped that the roads would NOT be just fine for a car.
We drove out toward the river and turned off onto some dirt road. There were ruts and rocks and bumps everywhere. It was so much fun. We kept going farther and we hit a couple of small puddles (which were enough to get the jeep dirty), and then bigger puddles came later down the road. We made it to the river and Kristi was so shocked at how high it was. We didn't stay very long to check it out, because Kristi was antsy to find some more puddles. Oh, no worries, we succeeded in that quest :o)
On the drive back to the main road, Kristi decided that this would be a not so great place to have the bonfire because not everyone owns a truck or a jeep (which surprises me, because we were in Idaho :o) Once we hit the main road, Kristi decided to drive to the other side to see if there was a better way to get to the river from the other direction. Well, that road definitely was better, as in more fun for us in a jeep, but definitely not better for people in tiny little cars. The first puddle we came to on the new dirt road we decided to explore was deeper than Kristi had thought it would be and so she lost a little bit of control- nothing big, it just surprised her a little. That's what I had pictured going through the puddles would be like every time so I loved it! Yeah, definitely that trail was fun.
There was one more stop we made on the way back into town. Kristi had one other spot down by the river in mind. We weren't able to get to it though because the road had been flooded. We made it past one part of the flooded road just fine, but then we turned a corner an Kristi stopped. She judged for a moment or two if it was worth trying to go through and then decided that the water was too deep. The good part about going through that part of the road was that it splashed up clean water at us. So we drove through that a couple of times to clean out the under carriage of the car.
Once we got back in town we knew we'd have to take the jeep to a car wash. The lame automatic car wash didn't do a thing to clean it. It was ridiculous. It's not like we got it all that dirty, and we had already rinsed it off by driving through the puddle of clean water. Immediately after getting out of the car wash, we had to drive across the street to the gas station so that we could wash the windows. Lame.
We got back to Kristi's house and bummed around for a little bit before deciding to watch the James Bond movie that I had never gone and seen for whatever reason, Quantum of Solace. When we were half way through the movie, Kristi got a call from a friend inviting us to go watch the newest Fast and the Furious movie. I was all over that suggestion! So we stopped Quantum of Solace, got ready, and her friends came and picked us up. These girls were hilarious. They did not hold anything back, and they just ripped into anyone, it was great. The movie of course was good, eew, except for the girls making out with each other. We had a little discussion about that on the drive home. We do not get at all why guys find that attractive or why girls would do it. Sick!
Anyway, when Kristi and I got back we went back down to the theater room to resume our initial movie. It took me a minute to remember the plot line of this movie when we started it, but I got back into the flow of this movie pretty easily. I'm pretty sure that by the time we finished that movie it was pretty late and we just headed to bed.
It was a pretty good memorial day, all except for the fact that we didn't have a bar-be-que :o(
Dang shoot, I forgot one other thing that we did on Monday. Okay, you know how Kristi promised we'd drive tractors? Well that was a lie because all of her dad's tractors are an hour and a half away on the farm. But, last time I went to her house (for Thanksgiving) I drove a tractor but didn't get pictures in it. So on Monday we drove down the road to John Deere and took pictures with a bunch of their tractors. All of them were unlocked, so it wasn't hard to make it look like we were legitimately driving them. And I guess if we had wanted to, we could have taken one for a spin because the key was in it and there was definitely gass in it. Yeah, so we got in some good pictures at that place before we moved onto our next activity.
