49* FINALLY! A pic of Kenny

"I made it to the top!!Take that world"- Kenny, summer 2011.

   Before I went to bed last night I looked at a bunch of Kenny pictures that are on my computer. Some of them I was not able to open which makes me sad because they were given to me and I only have them on my laptop. I am now going to attempt to put a pic of Kenny on this page. I hope I am able to figure it out.

    How about that?? This is Kenny! 
the pic didn't go where I wanted it to but it made it to the page.
   OH WOW!! I was able to move the pic>>this is getting cool. *Now I can really make this blog special* the way Kenny deserves it to be.
THANK YOU Ben and Kevin for the picture.This was taken during Kenny's last trip to Bass Lake. I remember the drive there seemed like it went on forever because I had no idea where I was going and on Kenny's previous trips he was too busy hanging out with Ben to pay attention to the drive. Kenny was blessed with the opportunity to crash Ben's family vacation which included Ben's dad, Kevin and Ben's younger brother, Zach so I drove Kenny there to join them. It was the last time we drove out of town together. He was in such a great mood- he LOVED going on those camping trips. He sent me texts about campfires and hikes that nearly killed them (not literally); how I wish there were some way for me to get those texts back. I think part of one read "...7mile hike, we all died..." and something else, it was a Kenny kind of text with his quirky sense of humor. Like I said I would give almost anything to get those back. I have one text locked on my phone from the day before he died. It is the only one I was able to save before I turned off his phone :(
    
Well, anyway today was exhausting.
Until tomorrow...definitely more pictures coming soon.
