Let's see if I can re-cap one month of vacation is one paragraph! We had a wonderful time visiting our families and friends in Illinois. Most of our time was spent in Elburn with my family. Lelah and her cousin Hunter played and faught with passion until the moment we left. Both now miss each other a lot. Another special treat was our newest nephew Max. He is such a delight and we miss him so much. Jon's family is doing well and we were so blessed to spend time with them, mainly helping Jon's sis Becky fix up her kitchen and vacation in Wisconsin. Lelah and her cousin Isaac were two peas in a pod. I'm going to let the pics do the talking and save our stressful and amazing trip home for another blog. ... read more

Custer, SD to Illinois!!!: Sorry this is coming two weeks late. We've been having fun here in Illinois, keeping very busy. Enjoy our last entry for the road trip! We started our day by pulling up to the infamous Wall Drug Store - which is actually more like a giant strip mall of shops along the main drag in Wall, SD. Since we wanted to make good time, we only stayed for breakfast and didn't stick around for all the touristy mumbo-jumbo. Although the coffee was, indeed, only 5¢ as advertised, it tasted pretty burnt and metallic as if they had somehow melted down the nickels you paid for it to make the coffee itself. The rest of the food prices were rather inflated, but you did get huge portions though, and it all tasted very ... read more

Cody is a great little town. I have to say that the people, of both the state of Wyoming and South Dakota, are some of the nicest we've met. Everyone is super-friendly. We stayed at another Cowboy Village and our room had a great view. We went and had WY Mexican food. It was pretty good....interesting and very spicy. The next morning we set out for the Buffalo Bill Cody Historical Museum. It was a really neat place with exhibits on the old west, native Americans, natural history, and an expansive firearms display. We really didn't get to give it our full attention with Lelah romping around and getting impatient, though. We hit the road after that and headed for Custer, SD and for Mt. Rushmore. Much love, The Moellers... read more

We are loving Jackson Hole!!!! It's a great town, with lots to see and do. We ventured into Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) today and I have to say it was one of the most amazing places I have ever been! We feel so blessed to be on this trip and to be seeing the majesty of our Lord! After a great nights rest, we started the day having breakfast at Bubba's BBQ, where biscuits and gravy were the house favorites (see pic) I managed to eat 1/4 of mine. After that we headed north into GTNP. We stopped at the cool visitor's center and then traveled to Jenny Lake. While driving we saw 4 elk (we think) and one sly coyote creeping across the road (sorry no pic of that). Had fun walking around. After ... read more

Sandy, UT : Sunday, June 14th-16th Went to Calvary Christian, the church that my Uncle's family belongs to, and heard a wonderful message on walking in the Spirit out of the book of Galatians. We love going to churches that are ALIVE!!! You could feel the Holy Spirit moving in that place. We met up with my cousin Blake, his wife Julie and their kids Trinity, Eli and Asher. Lelah and Trinity hit it off right away. After lunch we headed up into the mountains. We went to Brighton and walked around a beautiful lake called Silver lake. It was amazing. There were these little chipmonks that Lelah insisted on chasing. She also had fun throwing snow balls at Uncle Steve. My cousin Brandy and her boyfriend Casey came over for dinner, we had a wonderful ... read more
