Boy only Camping Trip

This past weekend the boy's and I went on a Father/Son camping trip to Green River Lakes, in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming. We had a great time.  The boys caught some very nice fish, and we saw an amazing amount of wildlife, including moose, elk, deer and antelope.

Eating is the only reason to take a break from the fishing

We were camping in Grizzly Country.  Food storage is required!  What is the required food storage for grizzly bears?

How about a pup tent with a Dad and his two boys inside?  I think a grizzly would consider that as food storage, don't you?

Amazing Produce

A couple of Wyoming Beefsteak tomato's after a full season of Wyoming sunshine!

A friend gave us a bag of tomato's that she had grown. Pictured here are a couple of the bigger ones. I swear those are NOT Cherri tomatoes, they are actually Roma tomato's and were grown in a greenhouse. If not for the greenhouse, they would have never ripened!

You Know You Live in Wyoming When....

The past few weeks I have been after Angela to buy her and Ruby some new shoes. Their church shoes are sandals and they are not practical this time of year in Wyoming.

Today just before the bus was to arrive I asked Angela if she would pick Ruby up at the bus stop and head into town and buy the shoes. When they came home Ruby was excited to sport her new umm well boots. Cowgirl boots.

I guess you know you live in Wyoming when your little girls church going shoes are cowgirl boots.
