Can't believe I got such a cute shot of my babies looking at each other. The poster says, "BARNEY BIKE CLUB HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY 14 NOV. 2014" It was suppose to say, "Happy Birthday to our new recruit but we ran out of room on our poster.

Well, due to the forces of the dark side better known as the visa office we had some huge problems making our July flights. DELAYS really try my patience but we re-booked our flights for the end of August and hoped and prayed that the powers that be would make our visas and everything else fall into place.

We began our goodbyes in July heading down to St. George to visit Travis' sister Cami Jo and her family. We left Wyoming and dropped off in Centerville to drop off a large bean bag for my brother.
This is the bean bag wrapped up in a tarp and strapped to our little Pontiac Vibe. We had many strange looks on our drive down.

This past June was so crazy. We were packing and trying to move out of our house and trying to pack for a move out of the country was difficult to say the least.

Do you know these mountains?
Tetons, some of our favorite mountains!
We live in Wyoming folks and our kids had never been to Yellowstone. This is some sort of sin. One we quickly remedied before we move across the pond.
We spent a night at the Old Faithful Inn. It was fun and the building is pretty neat.

That is right a large CAT!
I am not a cat person so this does not bother me at all. I don't know what you do with lion meat. I think jerky maybe?
We ran over to get a look at the cougar and it was large. Here are a couple pics.

We have a timeshare at Bear Lake in Utah. We love this condo and place for many reasons. One is that we are forced to go on vacation each year and it is nice to get away. We also love the area but what we really love is the off season. Bear Lake is crazy busy during the summer and dead during the rest of the year.
