Yellowstone Day 2

 Geysers, geysers, and more geysers. This was our geyser day in case you couldn’t tell. (WARNING A TON OF PHOTOS AHEAD, but I’ve narrowed it down from the 160 i took that day….) We loaded the boys up early from the cabin and started driving to Old Faithful. We made good time and pulled into […]

River Walk

As you may recall we had a huge flood last fall. A number of people in our area lost their homes and farms and livelihoods. We were very lucky and didn’t have any damage, but we have been desperately missing the trail system that goes behind our house. We heard last week that enough of […]
