Where the Buffalo Roam

As our idol Dorothy says, “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.” 

Even so, we couldn’t let our state turn 151 without a party! We had a pretty elaborate plan to show our new friends all the traditions like taking a bite out of a graham cracker, playing Kansas trivia, wearing overalls, etc. but we ended up only eating dirt cake and playing Scattergories.  Which in it’s own way was pretty elaborate.  I (Bethany) have to admit the game got a little too heated, but we think the party was a success.  Now we’re planning a trip to show them how amazing Kansas really is.  For some reason they don’t always believe us…

Speaking of Kansas…

A few weeks ago some of our friends went skiing at Copper.  So, we also got to have a fun getaway in the mountains!  It was very relaxing.  Never mind that the condo was super packed, and finding places to sleep at night was a little difficult.  We tried an air mattress.  But when Katie laid down and hit the floor.  Simultaneously, Bethany flew off… so that didn’t really work. 

Also, Bethany had a pretty bad cold.  Since she was coughing a lot she decided we should try sleeping in the hallway -  so she wouldn’t wake people up.  That plan backfired.  After about 10 min. a man opened his door and said “Oook, are you guys seriously sleeping out here?!” (talking like a teenage girl) 

While Bethany ignored him, Katie proceeded to tell him we were just getting some air…in a hallway…with our blankets and pillows…woops, sorry sir! 

We shoulda just jumped in bed with the Tedders since we all decided to be sister wives.

Besides some troubles that night, it was so so great chillin with our bff Jayne just lounging around, laughing, watching Ruby and not skiing  [insert ruby quotes].

We really hope to join in on all the awesome winter Colorado activities like skiing some day if we can save our money.  We found a really cheap deal to ski a day at CoPPer (pretty famous mountain) and were really excited.  So we called Devin who told us it was for “Ski COOper” (not famous. Actually, we’re not even sure it’s a mountain).  Of course, we bought the tickets!  So we’re excited about that adventure coming up!  (Can we ski in jeans?  We don’t got no snow gear!  Ehh we’ll figure it out.)

To prepare for our trip, we’ll just watch the X-Games from the warmth of our [friend’s] home.  With events like snowmobile flipping and the super pipe, we’re sure to be ready for the slopes.   

Speaking of extreme events…

Bethany was able to have our first Tebow sighting but unfortunately it was along with thousands of other people (not including Katie) at the Brad Paisley concert.  He acted super awkward since he was nervous and sang “I’m still a guy” pretty off pitch but we only think more highly of him. We all know we love awkward. And bad singing.

Speaking of people we think highly of…

We’re hoping Dorothy is smiling down on us as we continue to represent our great state one adventure after another.
