Vacation with the Girls

I can't explain what inspired me in the the summer of 2000, after graduating and having a job "waiting" in St. Louis, to set off alone for one of the nation's top field camps: Indiana University's Judson Mead Geologic Field Station (IUGFS). It didn't take long to hook up with these crazy girls and together we survived a grueling six weeks in the Tobacco Root mountains. We are meeting in Colorado this weekend for some much deserved time away...see you tomorrow, girls!

Addie Says

After doing something naughty: "Is that funny? I'm joking!"
Smelling her swimsuit: "I smell pink!"
"Oh, I spilled a little grandma cereal on your floor. I tried to clean it up." (I find about 1/2 cup of Cream of Wheat dry cereal on the floor with a dish rag in the middle)
"Mom, do you see that girl?" (I turn around to find a 90 year woman waving at Addie)
"There's the moon!..Just like on TV!"
"This is so hard it's going to make me fart!" Addie doing crunches with mom
"Good job, Bubby!"
Early morning Addie climbs in bed with us and counts on her fingers: "Mom, I love you...and the dogs."
"That was a bad move" To Jackson after he got in trouble for something.
In the middle of Jack counting to 100: "You can stop now!" After he ignores her and keeps counting: "He just keeps going!!!"
"Coward!" (directed to Jackson)
"Mom! Come look at my poopsie...it looks like a banana!"
"That's mom over there cookin'"
"Oh, you're mine cutest girl!" (directed to mom)
"Holy Nuts!"
"You're a little fat!" (directed to mom)
