Critters...

As most of you know...we have the usual chickens,

birds, turtles, and the Geico dude (remember him?)

so lo and behold I walk outside last night and

KERMIT was sitting on my patio... whatever!

(and to make matters worse...doesn't it look like

he's smiling as if to say "ha ha gotcha!")

Farmhouse...

 We stayed one night with Trent and Sarah's friends from school...

they live in Powell, Wy. in her grandparents 100-ish year old house.

It was very humble, fun, and comfortable

and there were sooooo many treasures they

didn't even know they had! Look at this

old cabinet that was outside in a shed full of tools!

 VERY old tricycles...

Another old cabinet in a shed...{{sigh}}...almost enough to make a grown woman cry!

Up, up and away...

 Another interesting thing we happened upon in Wyoming...hang gliding off a mountain...

 This guy is 68 years old and has been
 doing this since 1973!

                       Jumping off...

                          Free as a {{bird}}!

                          Maybe next time Trent ;)!

"Bullwinkle?..."

 More roadtrip adventures...we went to Yellowstone...
saw lots of wildlife-a black bear, lots of elk and buffalo,
a yellow bellied marmet (never even heard of it but we saw one) some beavers, deer,
and of course Ol' Faithful!

                     "Thar she blows..."

...but the {{most}} exciting thing of all

was when we were traveling outside the park,

we came upon four of the biggest moose's(?)

ever.  We had never seen a moose in the wild

and right off the side of the road in Wyo. were

four of them.  It was crazy, caused quite the traffic jam!



Wildflowers...

              We had a chance to go camping last week...

...with Emily and the kids!

Lots of FUN.

Saying good-bye...:(

We'll miss you Sadie dog...

Raspberries...

After staying with our friends in Utah,

we headed for Jackson Hole. 

On the Utah/Idaho border is a little town

called Garden City that is apparently

famous for its raspberries!

We all had a shake...except Houston...

he opted for a coke and fries!
