Grand Tetons/Yellowstone National Park

I finished RT school and Dave had his first vacation since early Spring, so we decided to drive to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park. Here are tons of pictures from our trip. We camped for 1 night in the Tetons and 3 nights in Yellowstone. We saw lots of wildlife including 3 grey wolf spottings, herds of buffalo, lots of antelope, 1 bull moose, many birds of prey, 3 deer, 1 herd of elk, a dozen cutthroat fish, lots of chipmunks and ground squirrels, and a couple of coyotes to top it all off. We toured the entire park in only 3 days which required us to drive a lot and quickly see all the sights. It was a fantastic trip and I feel blessed to have seen one of the nations most beautiful national parks. The natural beauty is quite amazing.

RT Graduation Brunch

Thank you to my family and friends to celebrating my accomplishment of finishing RT school together. It was a wonderful morning spent with loving people. Thank you to my sister Sarah and brother-in-law Mark for offering up their home!
Dave gave a quick toast and acknowledged my accomplishment, but I hate being the center of attention so I was embarrassed which lead to crying...
Laughter and Tears
