And, that's not even half of it! I LOVE YELLOWSTONE! While driving up there, we passed through Idaho Falls where Doug might, maybe, I hope so, get a job after graduation, and if we live there, we will for sure become Yellowstone regulars.
HUGE thank you to the Klingonsmiths who were perfect tour guides/camping buddies. They had to put up with my crazies, (which included a Yellowstone Bingo and 10 prizes for each kid and a bunch of bickering over who got what prize when and if a coyote counted as a wolf). They also handled our 4 kidded slowness to and from everything with perfect relaxedness. And they made the best pork and potato dutch oven dinner ever. Maybe, the Klingonsmiths might, I hope so, move up to Idaho Falls with us, and we could do the Yellowstone again.
Every time I looked up, down or around in Yellowstone, I saw something beautiful, even breathtaking. Today I feel more connected to my earth, and more loved by The Creator of it all. I LOVE YELLOWSTONE!
