Vacation is OVER (LATE POST)



On the right was my 13 week picture when we got home (12 weeks 3 days technically but whose counting?!).


Vacation to Wyoming was AMAZING! What a special time for our family to get to spend time with special friends for 7 days! It was wonderful. 

We drove for 4 days total and spent the rest of the time seeing all there was to see at the Wind River Indian Reservation. It is one of the largest Reservations in the US at about 3500 square feet. The amount of beauty this land has in it is incredible; we enjoyed family barbecue's, a 4th of July parade in Lander, we caught the end ceremony of Sun Dance (which was closed with rain, thunder, and lightening only to end with the most beautiful sunset of my entire life. it was very spiritual), Ryder received his "Indian Name" Mountain Weasel (which he now prefers to be called by), we looked far and wide for a Bear but never saw one there.

We went from Wind River to Thermopolis, WY to see the largest natural hot springs and take a swim in some natural hot springs pools! It was fantastic. Ryder even made some friends and finally walked off the stairs into the pool area (that was about 2.5/3 feet deep and walked around without holding on to me for dear life! What a success! 

After Thermopolis we went to Cody and were caught in a massive hail storm (just got the total back, around 3500).

Loved Yellowstone, hated the drive home because we didn't get there until 330am. :(

Glad to be back but miss being on vacation all the same!
