yellowstone!! elk, dear and bison oh my!


For our 1 year anniversary we decided to live it up Brown/Mortensen style and camp out in the woods!! so we packed our bags and headed north to Yellowstone for the weekend. We stopped by Tami and Colton's house in Idaho Falls and we have to say that Idaho has never looked so good!! then we headed up to Western Wyoming and camped in Yellowstone in a little place called Madison camp ground. We took all of Dr. Glenn's back packing gifts with and spence was really glad because it was the first time in his life that he didn't freeze to death at night. Anyways not to make this too long but we had a BLAST! i was glad that i didn't get eaten by any bears and spence was sad that he didn't get chased by a bear. I felt like a mom telling him to BE CAREFUL (He is so wild, Heather and Jo you know what I'm talkin about, he's always pushin the rule book which is why I love him) so we saw old faithful and it was looking good, we saw some moose, some elk, some dear. We biked through the park like Lance Armstrong, we ate like kings ya know backpacking food (a dry roll for lunch and dehydrated food for dinner) And when we were drivin' i kept saying, "bison, bison bison! calling all bison!" and it was weird cause none would come...until...we saw one massive bison at night in our car and then proceded to see 2 cars hit it head on!! it was a crazy story i'm still in shock. We had a great time and it was amazing to just be together uninterrupted from kai (our cat) or work, or the move or school or life. Yellowstone is a must!! on our way home we went through Teton National Park and that was spectacular too!!

I'm glad you didn't get eaten by any bears either! That would not have been a very good anniversary. (he-he-he)
