Chocolate Peppermint cupcakes

The ten day forecast is looking good, knock on wood! We're probably going to get showers a couple days before, but come Monday it should just be partly cloudy or mostly sunny. We're not nervous, no....

These are not on the menu- I put a little peppermint schnapps into the frosting. These were for the bachelorette party. Not too bad...

Weird things happen here.

Grand Canyon Fire Department hasn't lost a foundation yet!

I kinda felt like a jackass taking pictures of this, but how often do you get to see something catch on fire? I was doing crowd control on this one,people didn't seem to think that an rv filled with a tank of gasoline and a propane tank could possibly harm them. By the way, no one was harmed, just an RV and everything that was in it, a couple of trees next to the rv, and a trash can. This happened a week or two ago. Day before yesterday a guy fell off the rim and was located 200 feet below (It's being investigated as a suicide). The day before that 6 people got hit by lightning, one died. On the bright side, we don't really have water falls that sweep people to their doom, or grizzly bears, or avalanches.

I didn't think I would ever miss cloudy days, but they really put the drama out there. I believe that this is the thundercell that killed the German woman. I was about 25 miles away when I took this and could hear thunder. It was a scary storm.

In other news, it's almost wedding time!!!! We are some busy bees and can't wait to see everyone! Happy happy happy happy!

There's a National Park Unit 5 minutes from my home that I had no idea existed.

My overall impression of Ohio: green.

This place is approximately 5 minutes from where I grew up. I had no idea. The rangers there were kinda jerks. Oh well. Probably wouldn't work there. Dayton Aviation Heritage.

I didn't take a lot of photos in Ohio...

I feel like this is a typical dad gesture....

Even the icecream is scarlet and gray. Awesome.

We were taking a quick drive around campus, and noticed that the gates were open at the Horseshoe, and that we could just walk right in. So we did. I think there was an incoming student rally of some sort fixin to occur, but we took advantage.
Tim said it was smaller than he'd expected. I haven't really been in a lot of other football stadiums, so it's hard for me to say.
