Yellowstone and more..
























I am finally getting around to our vacation. Tim, Preston and I along with our friends the Moore's took a 10 day family vacation. We went to Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, Jackson Hole and Beaver Creek CO. Wow.. we drove about 3000 miles in addition to the roundtrip flight to Denver Co from DFW.. That is alot of ground in 10 days. We rented a suburban in Denver and drove a huge loop into S. Dakota, Wyoming, back into CO. there were 7 of us total.. I am so glad the Moore's love us.. especially the day Preston had 7, yes 7 poopie diapers during one of our 400 plus mile drive days!!! But we saw some of God's most majestic creations and had some really good memories made. At times i felt like vacation and the family truckster but good times were had by all. While in Yellowstone we saw a black bear, Moose, Elk, Grizzly bear, Old Faithful, and LOTS of Buffalo!! What amazing animals!! Then we treked into JAckson HOle Wyoming.. What a beautiful little town. We went on a covered wagon cookout, which included an indian invasion!!! We also went on the Alpine slide. YOu will have to look it up. It is at the Snow King resort. But it is this huge slide built into the side of the mountain. you have to take a chair lift up to the top of it. You ride these little sled things down it.. what a blast.. I so wanted to go really fast but i came upon this little girl that was going really slow so my thrill ride became a leisurly ride instead.. We did some shopping in Jackson but not much.. they are pretty proud of their stuff.. but when you have the most expensive real estate in the US then i guess you can be. Then we went on the BEaver creek.. Just as beautiful. We had good times there.. even if P rolled off the bed at the Condo!! HE was fine.. MOM wasn't but he was...
