SBL #14 - Wyoming

We had the opportunity to go to Wyoming to visit our friends, Kami, Grace, and Scarlett over a long weekend.  The drive to their house was around 5 hours, but, due to our DVD player, went pretty smoothly. 

We arrived in Riverton Friday evening and went to Kami's gym.  It is bittersweet being in the gym as many of the sayings, artwork, etc remind us of Kami's late husband, Nate.  But it was so good to see the gym and the girls.  We went to their house and had dinner and caught up. 

 
 
The next day we went to an event in their city park that featured a dunking machine, lots of handmade crafts, and tasty food.  It was fun to walk around and see the variety.  We let the kids each buy something...the babies chose wands with long streamers and the boys chose polished rocks to add to their collections. 
  



That evening we went to see the "Sinks and the Rise". This included feeding trout, a fun nature walk/hike, and lots of photo ops. The babies insisted on walking most of the nature walk...which gave the rest of us time to smell the flowers and really enjoy the scenery.










The next day was Sunday and our last day in Wyoming.  After Sacrament meeting, we went to see some of the Church History sites, including the site of the Second Rescue.  We were the only tourists and the missionaries were so great to show us around and let us go on the walking tour where we learned about the pioneers.  We were so grateful to spend time with the Jordan Family and always look forward to next time.
