Getting ready to go! Montana here we come.
We saw a forest fire. Ranne begged us to show him windmills on the whole drive. As we came out of the mountains going into Salt Lake, we found these giants.
Finally asleep.
Free Home:
Palisade Falls picnic with the Frees and Phillips. Ranne sure enjoyed the pb&j made with Grandma's home grown and made strawberry jam!
On the shoulders of grandpa.
The crew, minus me.
Trey was very impressed, can you tell?
Scott's and my anniversary hike in the Tabaccos.
The Hotel:
This building was quite neat! The original pipes and boiler were used, so hot water, as well as cold, took forever to get to the room. The toilet water was so hot the bowl and seat were nice and warm. HA! The morning of the 4th, we had breakfast in the only open diner. In it were several young men hung over from a night in the bar. It was completely packed. The drunk guys gave us their table and pulled up chairs at another with their buddies. We also met a couple was was dining with his mother. The mother cleaned rooms of the Sacajawea Hotel while supporting her many children alone. Amazing woman.

The Fourth at Home.
This stepping stone in the Free's backyard is very humbling. I see this sweet handprint and think what an amazing gift to be married to someone's little boy, grown-up. Especially Scott R. Free.
His cheeks match Grandpa's shirt.
If Ranne ever diappeared, this is where I would find him: on Grandma's bed reading their stash of old children's books.
The Church's picnic at the park included a spray area. Ranne enjoyed it so much, especially when on the shooting end of the water gun.
Sydni and the girls joined us at the dinosaur park. It was very fun and nice. It is another one of those community built sets.

Scott's cousin Ryan and his family joined us after supper for sparklers. It was a blast! They're such easy people to talk to.

Thank you for coming all those long miles to visit!!!
For some reason the Trey pictures were really striking me this evening. The one of him in the suitcase and the one of him at the zoo.... oh, man.
THANK YOU for all the posts and pictures. I know it takes a lot of valuable time to do this!
I'm glad you had such a blessed trip, and glad you are back safely!
