Memories from the Last Few days

Haven't listed out some of my favorite memories for a few days:


  • Watching my boys' faces when we walked into the indoor pool room and they saw the 2 story twisting water slide at our hotel in Sturgis

  • Eating Pizza at the Pizza Ranch in Sturgis and just laughing at each other
  • Blowing out a second tire on the trailer -- argh...again though, at the perfect location, with the perfect weather and the right tools.
  • Picnicking near the top of the Falls of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. It has to be one of the best picnic spots ever...








  • Eating Old Fashioned Ice Cream on the porch of Old Faithful Inn watching Old Faithful go off with the sunset making a rainbow in it's steam.






  • Playing cards in the camper with Kiley's folks on our last night in Yellowstone.







  • Hiking around Dragon's mouth cave. All the adults wanted to take the short route, but the boys refused and we had to take the long route.
  • Staying at a beautiful campground in Buffalo, WY. (The hometown of my first girlfriend, but that's another "camp crush" story). The cottonwood trees were shedding so much it looked like it was snowing.
  • Watching the boys hike through the woods with their matching glow-in-the-dark Yellowstone T-shirts and Coon Skin caps.







  • Walking around Devil's Tower. Watching people climb it. Thinking, "No one can look at this and think this is some random act of nature...it's too creative."
  • Playing for hours in the pool in Sturgis with the boys (we are LOVING camping, but have to admit, a couple nights in a hotel is fun too).
  • Eating junk food for supper on Sunday night and watching old Incredible Hulk and Iron Man cartoons together.
  • Finding free Wi-Fi signals at random campgrounds around Devil's Tower while we drive in order to hunt for a hotel.
