Yellowstone 2007
We all had a really great time seeing Yellowstone park this summer. We spent a night and day in Cody going to the Buffalo Bill Historic Museum. I think that I liked it most. The kids enjoyed the small pool that was at the cabins where we stayed. Kim did a great job finding our accommodations. It is a fun place to visit. We camped both nights that we were in the park. I think that Old Faithful and that geyser basin was what the kids enjoyed the most. We saw a lot of Buffalo, a coyote that everyone said was a wolf. We got the picture home and magnified it on the computer and sure enough it was a coyote. It was jumping around too much for a wolf to me. We saw a sow Grizzly with 4 cubs. That was really fun. The Elk were much to tame to be cool. We went on a short walk to see a hot spring and when we came back the buffalo had overrun the road. All the Asian tourists walked right up in the midst of them to try to get photos, but we opted to walk around. It was a fun site to see as a big bull chased one of them down a path a bit. It did rain every day, but we had a great time and got to try out our new 75 lb. family tent. It worked very well. Family is what life is all about. It is funny how at times the people that mean the most to us take the brunt of our frustrations and criticism. My family is great. The kids are really fun. They also know how to make a lot of noise. I think that they get that side from Kim. I had only been to Yellowstone as a child one time and did not come away from that trip that it was a big Caldera. It is a very interesting place. My only wish is that the speed limit would go up a little , Maybe 50......

We will have to coordinate and let each other know when we are going to Yellowstone. We were in Yellowston about 6 different times this summer. We could of even been there at the same time. Your kids are adorable. Anyway - thanks for starting a blog. It is fun to see what is happening in your life. Take care.

I typed a comment earlier today and it hasn't shown up, so if it went through - you can ignore this one.
Unfortunately it is all too true what you have said about taking frustrations out on those nearest to us. Here's a little insight I found. The following advice, given by the deceitful Screwtape to his nephew Wormwood in C. S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters, describes this common malady afflicting many of us today: “Do what you will, there is going to be some benevolence, as well as some malice, in your patient’s soul. The great thing is to direct the malice to his immediate neighbours whom he meets every day and to thrust his benevolence out to the remote circumference, to people he does not know. The malice thus becomes wholly real and the benevolence largely imaginary.”
