Yeah for road trips!




Childhood. Maybe playing in the yard. Eating bugs. Eating dirt. Climbing trees. Falling from trees. Playing "Pretend". Learning to read. Reading and forgetting yourself. Skinned knees.

These are some things I think of when I think childhood. Also road trips. I think I have just as many memories of road trips as living at home (maybe a closes second) anyway they are fun and have a near and dear place in my heart.


We just went to Yellowstone, it was fun and very educational. Here are a few things we learned;

If you camp (tent) with RVs you get the showers to yourself.
Sagebrush taste VERY strong, a little goes a long way.
Yellowstone sits inside a volcano (comforting).
The stink pots ohh I mean paint pots still stink.
Smoky Bear was real.
You can get a car tan (half of my face is tanner then the other).

So you can see we learned a lot. It was a good trip. We saw moose!!!

Hope you all had a good summer too.


P.S. the sun was really bright.

You ate sagebrush? Hm...I wonder if it tasted like my Grammie's Thanksgiving Turkey Dressing which had so much sage in it it was actually green. Scary.

I want to go.

Sounds like you had a fun time. I am glad you got to get out and have a little break from the patterns of our every day life. Love the photos! Great landscapes, and the lighting on the buffalo is amazing! Out standing!

Cool,
