On a scale from 1 to Pioneer, how was your family trip this summer? Yellowstone 2019



     We stayed at 5 different places, saw cousins and friends, ate fancy pizza with Rachel, got a personal tour of the BYUI Farm by cowgirl Darcy, got surrounded (insert movie quote here) by a herd of buffalo, ate great hot food cooked in our car oven, saw a bear, burned our fingers in a "hot spot" in a cold river, laughed a lot, listened to U2 LOUD across the dessert AAAND left our daughters and drove home.


Reenactment of a classic Lawrence pic.

We took A LOT of pictures
Rachels place was just like her- lovely, classy, and cozy.

When Eric asked if he could stick his head our the sunroof and take a picture.. "Sure!  Its Wyoming!  Here you can kill yourself if you want to."

Also Eric was annoyed Mom wouldn't let him spank a buffalo OR a bear.  Lame.

Hilarious "Who Done Its" over dissapearing Oreos.

Eric- "Every pillow has a purpose.. and it's under my head."

Milkshakes at that famous place in Loomis.
Funny Jack, running away from encroaching buffalo.. "No no no!  I have a fragile body!!

Darcy in her element.  She was amazing working that farm tour.

Number of mosquitos in our camp site - 20,000
Number of mosquitos it takes to send Jack into a full emotional tail-spin - 1

Items used the most- DVDs, Ice, Bug spray, gasoline, and Mountain Dew

Colin and Darcy are a lot alike and missed eachother
Tim thought he'd rather face mosquitos than us in a tent all night.
