Curtis,Blake and I recently traveled to Yellowstone with Blake's 4th class for four days. We participated in "Expedition Yellowstone" where we got to stay in cabins and have the inside tour from park rangers. It was so fun and we learned so much!! We saw a lot of cool thermal features and wild animals. We had great weather and even got trapped in our cabins by buffalo! This picture is in front of Steamboat Geyser.
Here is a elk grazing in the town of Mammoth Hot Springs. They are all over the town just laying around in people's yards...soooo cool!

Here was a buffalo we saw right outside the bus window.


This is a picture of the Teton Mountains. We went by them on the way up to Yellowstone.


Here is Blake and I in front of Lower Falls.


Blake and Curt on the bus. We spent a lot of time in this bus. I'd forgotten how uncomfortable school buses really are.



Blake by the river.

Grandpa Ovitt's 90th Birthday

Kelly, Grandpa Harry, and Lisa in Paso Robles California for Grandpa's 90th Birthday Celebration. We all had a great time and it was so fun to visit family.
Here is Grandpa with his birthday cake.

I got to visit the coast and see the beatiful sights. We had such a fun "girls day."
