Buffalo, wolves and bears - oh, my!

I am a couple months late in posting Yellowstone pics - but better late then never.

This was a really fun trip taking our camper out for the longest trip yet. We stayed in West Yellowstone KOA and Stacey joined us for most of the time. We had beautiful weather and the kids really enjoyed looking at the sites, swimming and playing at the campground.

They didn't like the driving to and from the various sites - especially Ethan! He was so funny. Thank goodness for DVD players in cars, how did our parents do it w/o that??? This picture was taken after Yellowstone - when we went to Grand Teton. You can see how cold Ethan thought it was - but a beautiful picture of the family hiking up to the waterfall. Dave and I had gone to Jenny Lake when we were dating in 1991 - but at that time they didn't have a ferry across.

Happy Birthday Lois

Lois Turns 70!

She doesn't want us to make a big deal about it - but this is a big deal. She has raised a beautiful family and is a fabulous mom - and mother-in-law. And I realize how lucky I am to say that!

Dave is the cute little boy in the center

Dave and Shawn turn 40!

As a surprise for the guys b-day, Val and I "kidnapped" them and went to Sundance to go Mtn. bking, golfing in Midway and to Park City overnight. The scenery was beautiful.... and that wasn't just them. :)

A "posed" shot from Val and I... no really - we are naturally that curvy!


This was a beautiful trail that took about an hour. It was all single track and took us on a huge loop. We all had some minor injuries - Shawn definately suffered the worst. As the really helpful biker who passed him when he had gone over the handle bars said "Hey watch your brakes, dude!"

Val and I held back a little to allow the guys plenty of room. They thought we were having a hard time...but that wasn't it at all.

Yes, Dave is the photographer here...
