One weekend Landon came home for the weekend. Notice how all of our stories occur only on the weekends? That's because that's the only time we ever get to spend together. Lame. For quite a while, Landon had been wanting to play in the cotton seed at the dairy. We actually had time on this particular Friday night, so at around 10:30 we drove out to the dairy.
When we arrived, Landon said we needed to be careful because he didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea. So we had to sneak around. We climbed up to the top of the cotton and got situated with our blanket. All of a sudden, some dumb guy showed up with the loader. Landon assured me the guy wasn't going to come to the cotton because they only feed that to the cows in the morning. But then we could see the lights coming towards us, and I almost peed my pants. And then the guy came in to get a load, and we could feel the hill shaking. It was so scary! I was just imagining a big chunk being taken out, us falling down, the cotton covering us, and me suffocating with cotton in my throat. It was so bad!!! But it was really fun, too. That dumb guy came and got like EIGHT loads. And every time I almost hyperventilated. But Landon was so calm and patient; I knew I was going to be okay, for the most part.
Landon said the guy was probably just going to make a batch and he'd probably be there only about another 20 minutes. Approximately 2 hours later, we thought he was finally leaving. In the meantime, Landon and I chatted and had a wonderful time. When the guy finally left, Landon went ahead of me to make sure he was really gone. When he thought it was clear, he signaled towards me to go. As I was going across, that dumb guy came back, and I had to hurry and hide. I was SO afraid that he was going to shine his light on me, and I was going to be completely alone just standing there super awkwardly. Then he left and I was able to find Landon. And then the guy came back again!!! So we had to climb up in some other junk that was like dark brown sand. And it gone in our shoes and everywhere and made a mess. We finally made it back to the car, about 3 hours later than we were originally planning. What a crazy adventure!
On Saturday, Derek took us flying and later we went and swam in the hot springs. Here are some pictures.
