Where, Who, What & Why

No When needed here. If you can't tell by the date of the last informational post, we've been out and about. We've returned for a brief period to unload and reload suitcases and to sojourn for another few weeks.

Mesa Falls, Island Park, ID - Barbie had to be in the picture according to Noelle.

Where did we go? Well over the past three weeks we managed to cover Utah, Idaho and Wyoming. Although Utah was the ultimate destination, we spent some time in Island Park, ID and ventured into Yellowstone National Park.

Who did we see? We visited family, extended and all. Friends of various sorts and from different corners of life. We had a marvelous time with everyone, although it really seemed like we didn't get to see everyone we'd wanted. As always we'll have to plan for our next visit.

What did we do for all of that time? We visited Wheeler Farm, swam in Grandma Nay's pool, played with Jack, saw water falls and animals, watched a lot of Barbie in The Nutcracker and Little Mermaid, attended a wedding, watched fireworks with Grammy, went on the boat and tube.

Why o' why? Escaping the heat was worth every second, even if it was nearly 100 degrees everyday. Beats 113 anytime!

I agree, there is a BIG difference between 113 and 100.

What a fun trip! That Noelle must be one great traveller--hope you remembered to bring that USB cable :)

Looks like a fun couple weeks, although I feel like I talk to you more when you're not here. Maybe I can be on your plan for next time. Have fun on your next set of adventures and I'll keep my fingers crossed for Boo and this imminent exams.

Good times! Don't you love coming back to the AZ heat? I sure do miss it. I'm so glad that I'm coming home to 1000 degree weather tomorrow :(
