COWBOY COUNTRY

So we took a trip to WYOMING with Melissa's mom & sister.  I had my reservations.  I was worried about traveling with the aforementioned group for several days. Turns out it was pretty fun.  Melissa's Mom got the trip basically for free at a conference in Florida.

Tim, THIS is a fire pit. If you look past the pit you can see the volleyball net where Jen and I played volleyball late one night while enjoying a few Adult Beverages(see photos below).  I use "late" loosely as it was around 9pm.  I guess we were a little bit too loud.  The next morning, the staff took it down.

 Riding horses made Eason & nanny Jen sleepy.

I will bask in your jealousy

 Thanks for all your help Betty.  So on the way up, we stopped off in Casper for lunch and the 4 story western store.  Turns out I picked up a HUGE nail in the sidewall of one our tires.  Luckily there was a tire shop just down the street. Unluckily nails location required a brand new tire. Since the tires were brand new, we need the same tire to match the set.  Turns out that Gillette was only place in the entire state that had the matching tire. So we put the spare on and off we went spare-less.  To make a long story short....,whoops too late, we headed to Gillette on our way home.  Plugged the address into the GPS aka "Bleep'en Betty", she got us to Gillette, then went silent, we circled, turned and reversed.  Finally finding the tire shop the old fashioned way, by just driving around.  As we pulled in, I kid you not, Betty said "YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT YOUR DESTINATION" Really, now you are going to TALK? REALLY? NOW? 

 WECOME BACK!

 Looks like home.
