We're Baaaaack!

We are officially back from our week-long vacation to Yellowstone. We had some good times. We left last Sunday and drove to Lava Hot Springs where we spent 2 nights. Sunday night we went to the hot pools with the kids. They thought it was pretty neat. Monday we spent at the pool. Emma wanted to go down the waterslide, but got nervous at the top. Mom had to give her a little nudge (Okay, so I practically picked her up and threw her down), but luckily she loved it once she reached the bottom. She spent the rest of the day going up the stairs, down the slide, up the stairs, down the slide, up the stairs....Well, you get it.

Tuesday morning we left for Jackson Hole. We stopped just long enough to get fuel (3.00 a gallon, ouch), and continued on to Yellowstone and Fishing Bridge RV park. We stayed there for Tuesday night, Wednesday night, and Thursday night. We were able to see all sorts of wildlife including a Black Bear! The only thing we didn't get to see was a Moose. Too bad. Lots of buffalo, which Maggie calls "Moos". Everything with fur is a Moo to her.

So Friday morning we headed out of the park to Logan. We drove through Preston, which was a treat. Never been there, don't think I'll be going back any time soon. We stayed at the Ramada Inn's RV park in Logan for Friday night and Saturday night. Sean rode his bike 60 miles on Saturday with my sister Meg, and her boy/friend. Notice the slash. We mostly hung out on Saturday evening, and I finished 2 books. Mindy, I know you're proud.

So Sunday morning we headed out to get home. Unfortunately, I woke up with a horrible cold, and slept most of the way home. But we made it home, and it was a relief. Needless to say, I'm still doing laundry, and will be all week. So that was our last hurrah for the summer. Back to work.
