Graduation

Graduation was on Wednesday and the seniors said the Oath of Office once more before being dismissed from the Academy

Right when they heard they were dismissed they threw up their hats and the Thunderbirds flew over (be careful...the T Birds are LOUD)

They did a pretttty fancy airshow

And ended with a heart for the parents and families. Aww, how sweet haha

And now my room's all packed and I'm on my way home! :D

Kansas Take Two

In my infinite wisdom I decided to head back to Kansas for another weekend in the sun. And the best way to spend a weekend in the sun is high in the sky.


Although we weren't as high as Good Luck, the view was just as awesome


He took us over a lake and then let me fly around a bit


The only bad thing was the weather didn't allow us to fly back to Colorado so we had to wake up at 4am to drive back. The sunrise was nice though..

i love this.

and i guess later on in the night she transformed into something else? (third from right)
Hwow!

my brother sure posted a good load of nastiness. *barf*

i can't wait to see "up!" with my siblings. this clip cracks me up.

Final Day

On the last day of Kansas the cowboy said to me, "get up, we're goin to church"

I didn't know the mayor of Greensburg from the large tornado two years ago was a believer - just an interesting thought

Then we went to a graduation with a class 29 people large

All in all, farm life seems to be more busy than city life. They do more during the day so I'm ready to sleep at about 10pm. Yet, techonology is still around with their GPS equipped tractors and large flat screen tvs. It's definitely a different pace and I never got bored. It'd rate it as the most American thing there is out there.

Kansas Day 2

On the second day of Kansas the cowboy said to me, "your horse is saddled; we're leavin to round up the cattle in twenty."

We branded all the calfs and castrated the steers

Needless to say, the calfs didn't enjoy the day too much

We had a lot lot of fun, though

And I made sure to save my badge of courage to validate my adventures- it's a nail that's no longer there because of a horse

Kaansas

On the first day of kansas the cowboy (Layne) said to me, "get up. breakfast's hot, we're havin rocky mountain oysters, and shootin right after."

This moment was the culumation of all my weapons training

After my ears went deaf we went to eat lunch at a small German hole-in-the-barn and I had bierocks

Then we went outside to the widest main street in the USA

On the way to Layne's uncle's ranch to pick up the horses, we stopped by an air museum to meet my good friend, Goose

Then it was back to Layne's Ranch to ride

We rode to a water hole powered by the wind

And Layne's father got us some some goooooood water

This was the first day so we just played around. The second day (later to come) was the actual work day.

This guy is out to get me

I took a buncha of pictures of this guy at an ice cream place a month ago without him realizing who I was.

Then I told him...

Turns out he's my Chinese teacher next year; he says he's going to fail me.

And today! He was proctoring my Chinese final and he said, "Woody, you might as well just leave the test blank. I'm the one grading all of them."

Hah. Boy he sure has a sense of humor... He'll see what other pictures I take of him :D

God

I was working on the sales floor one day and eating dunk'ems (used to be called "Handi-snacks") I chose the bread sticks that day because i didn't want to get messy gooping the cheese onto the crackers.

This the first time I tried the bread sticks version and I thought they were quite tasty. then i was thinking "God, it would be great if i got one with no cheese cause the bread sticks are delicious!"

I reach my hand into the box to help myself to another serving and I get this one, fully sealed, with three breadsticks, no cheese except for that dip and that half bitten one in the cheese department.

It's as if God was like "Sure, i'll eat all the cheese for you!"
