NATURE!!

I'm going to let the pictures do most of the talking for the last few days, but I will recap a bit for you all. We went to Sand Point, Idaho and stayed with Don, a family friend of Adam's. We went to the top of Schwitzer mountain and Adam got to mountain bike! hurrah. It was beautiful and I bonded with Don's 8 month old puppy. We then headed to Montana. We started in Missoula, where I checked out the University of Montana for grad school. Missoula was an awesome city, there were 3 farmers markets we got to check out, and we walked around the city. After Missoula we headed to Bozeman, and camped there for two nights. It was a neat little town, and we took a nice hike where we saw a black bear munching on some huckleberries and a mama moose with her baby. It was a little terrifying to see the bear, and then I was on edge for the rest of the hike.. just cause that is how I am. You know. heh.

After Bozeman we headed to Yellowstone, which I had never been to, so I was pumped. We camped there for two nights, driving around and checking things out. We also took a nice hike, although I was attacked my mosquitos. We saw the canyon, the geysers, lots of rain/thunder storms.. HURRAH!!! It was a beautiful park, but there were SOOOOO many people. Definitely worth it though. After Yellowstone we headed to Grand Teton National Park, which was BREATHTAKING. All the bison pictures and beautiful mountain pictures were from there. We went over to Jenny Lake and hiked up to Inspiration Point, and saw 4 moose and lots of Pikas. So fun. It is a beautiful world out here.

Now we are in Jackson, WY because I got wicked bug bites and one got infected and now I am laid up in a super 8 hotel... hoping that my infection doesn't spread and hurt my leg. ugh. So this puts our trip back a little back... we are thinking of heading to Colorado in two days. Until then!!

  2. My favorite is the one of Oatmeal and that guy in the cocaine t-shirt whooping that rottweiler's butt. Go, Oat!

    You should post the picture I sent you, just as a helpful counterpoint.
