Great Trip!! What a great trip! I've really enjoyed reading your blogs. I'm so happy all of you have had a wonderful time together. What family fun, that's the best!! Very safe travels home and wonderful memories to hold.
What a ride Aren't you glad you took the beginners ride!? What an experience. I took Jack with me to Paisley's yesterday. He was worn out. They were pretty good together. Puppy just pestered him abit. He is such a good dog. Love, Mom
That sounded like a blast! Thanks for all the descriptive "visuals".... all squashed down together to avoid hitting your head...wow! I know whitewater rafting was high on your "to do" list, so I'm thrilled to read that you were able to do it. Congratulations to you, Grace for becoming a Junior Ranger! You should be proud of your accomplishment. What does that mean, though? You'll have to let Lauren know ;-) Miss you guys! Susan
happy vaca Wow you guys are traveling the great frontier. Did you hook up with Dave? He is close to the downtown area and he'd be sad if you didn't at least hook for a meal. call me if you don't have his phone number. How long is this trip? And how weird is it you have been in ice and snow and we are melting back here. Continue your journey and contineu the great blog! Lisa
What an adventure! So glad you are having a good time. Looking fortward to seeing the pictures. Sounds like you will need a "vacation" to recover from the vacation. Have to do all you can whilr you are there.
I did get your voice mail singing tyhe b-day tune. Thank you! Jack perked up when he heard his name. He has been a good boy. Love to all.....MiMi
do you miss the beach? So with all this wildlife and beauty, do you miss the beach? We are cancelling our July beach trip due to the oil spill, so maybe we'll head west too because it sure sounds like fun! I can't believe you even thought you would be able to make a small scrapbook ahead of time. Seems like this trip will require the digital version, big mama 12 X 12 version, and the small-keep-at-your desk version. I can't wait to see the pictures. Grant looks forward to us reading your blog daily. He wondered when you were leaving Wyoming...sounds like a country song to me. Enjoy the rest of your time together as a family without any obligations or commitments. K
Grace ,I am here Grace,
So sorry I was not there to shop with you. I would have loved the hot spring too. I just finished a hot bath tub bath. Did lots of weeding at the salon! Took Jack with me. Dale painted and I weeded. Jackson also went on a picnic with us. He was the so popular. Can I keep him? Maybe? I think you would not let me. So glad you saw a bear! What a marvelous trip for you all. I did have a happy birthday, as far as b-days go. They come around to quickly now. I'm going to do what my dad did and make it 36. Love to all......MiMi Dale says hello.
I hope you Guys are eating really well. For sure Little Gracie needs extra. Jim you can afford to lose a little, like myself. i have lost weight with all the hiking we have done. Love you guys,it really sounds like a great family vacation.
wonderful! Jim...had no idea you were such a writer...thanks for taking us all on vacation with you. Next time, though, maybe we should be in the car with you!
I got this message and the one about Yellowstone today. What an adventure you are having. Jack likes to sleep at the foot of my bed. He has been real good. ove you all........Mom MiMi
I really enjoyed your post about Yellowstone! I live here in the states and have never even been there, but I really want to go. My blog is looking for travel photos, reviews, etc, to share. If you have the time, check it out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com, or email me at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com. Continued fun on your travels!
Heather :)
Happy, happy, happy Oh, how I am loving these blogs!! Any creative writing course you took is paying off big time. Maybe some of it is in all the reports you've written for work. But you're making your whole trip come alive for us. Thanks, Grace for the intro note. I hope your time there doesn't speed by just too quickly.
We'll be gone Mon. thru Fri. next week, so this will probably be my only comment. Continue to travel safely. Love, Mom
The Montana Roman's Your post was so funny and timely. We spent the day at Yellowstone and by the end of the day decided to go out to eat instead of waiting until we returned to the campground. We wound up eating just outside the West Entrance of Yellowstone...in Montana. I think it was just outside the Madison Junction. Anyway, we ate at the Outpost Restaurant. We have thought about Elizabeth and Mike several times. We were even talking about their Holiday stay at Yellowstone last year. - Jim
40 See Jim, being 40 is not too bad. What a great way to celebrate it. You are on top of the hill, not over it. So glad you are seeing all the beautiful sights. Everything here is is good. Jack has begun eating a little better. Dale takes him on daily walks. He loves that. Good night. MiMi
Happy Birthday Jim - what a wonderful way to turn 40!!!!!! Seems like each day keeps getting better for you all - well except for the camper-breakdown period.....but even that just added to the adventure of it all - right?
yellowstone When you get to Yellowstone, you need to go across the border into Montana and check out West Yellowstone, Elizabeth's Mike hometown. I think he may even have some relatives or old friends who are tour guides at Yellowstone. Toss out that Roman name - might get you favors
WWWWOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness we had no idea you guys were doing this awesome adventure. This is exactly what Tim and I would like to do in the future.. You will have to give us opinions on the better places to go... We are so happy for you that you are getting to enjoy the wonderful outdoors... Have fun and be safe!!
Love, Shelly and Tim
Enjoy
Happy Birthday! Happy birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Mr. Martin...Happy Birthday to you! What a way to spend your 40th!!
The Beasley Crew
God IS good! Oh man! This was quite a day! Evansville, WY!! Seriously! That is way to weird for words!!I'm so happy it all worked out and that you made it to your destination without a much longer delay. Can't wait to hear the next installment. (P/S You don't even want to know about tonight's game.... TRUST ME!)
vacation Guys this sounds like one of our vacations. Exxxxxxxxcept Uncle Leonard would be saying I can fix it just let me take the box " springs " apart. We will be on the road in no time. Prayers will contiue to follow you. Love Aunt Judy
Looks like fun! We printed out your 3 entry blogs and read them around the dining room table tonight with Grant pointing out the states on the map. It sounds like a lovely trip so far. It was a great picture of Jim and the kids and I loved the single buffalo picture you snapped. I hope the sky remains wide and the memories continue to flourish. Keep us posted about yesterday's camper issue so that we know you are continuing on safely....Happy Birthday Jim!
