Billings/Greybull Trip

On Monday, I drove to Greybull to go to Billings with my aunt Candy and my grandparents. Candy was flying home to Georgia from the Billings airport and my grandpa had a doctor appointment. I went so I could drive home because my grandpa wouldn't be able to drive after his appointment. So I was the designated driver or the chauffer as my grandpa put it !!

We went to dinner at the Cracker Barrel in Billings. Very fun place to eat and I recommend it to any future Billings travelers.


We also went to Wal-Mart, of course, and helped my grandma find some things. My grandpa and I had fun taking pictures of grandma in her motorized scooter.

My grandpa had his appointment early Tues morning so we spent the night in the hotel and took my grandpa to the appointment the next morning. He got these wonderful sweats for the pet scan because he had too much metal on his clothes (belt, snaps on shirt, etc.) and was stylish all day. He said he looks like all the young people who never get dressed for the day :) We had to get a pic of that for the record books. I haven't seen my grandpa in any other clothes but cowboy clothes so this was a treat and we all had fun with it.


On Wednesday, I hung out with Erica all day and helped her with Cole's birthday party. We had a lot of fun shopping and getting it ready. Ren really liked to help and had his own sized shopping cart to boot!!


The boys had a lot of fun and Erica had very fun games planned. They played noodle hockey in the backyard with the sprinklers on. Then they moved to the front yard and played flag football with the sprinklers on. Then they launched water balloons and had a water balloon fight. Tons of fun!!! What a fun day!

Camping with the Casey's

We went camping in the Big Horn Mountains and had a blast! Here are pics on the way there.

Brent and Lindsey let us shoot their guns! It was a blast, so thanks Brent and Lindsey!!!
Steve and I love fishing! We had a lot of fun!! Thanks to Curt and Cathy for everything!!

Yesturday's Anniversary Events

Steve bought me flowers (orange is my favorite color in roses) and laid them in a trail throughout the house before he left for work, so I woke up to a trail of beautiful flowers.


We went out to dinner at the Hitching Rack and Steve got a steak and I ordered halibut. It was a very good meal and we had fun.
Here we are after our fun date!! Stevo is the greatest!!

More exploring

 Earlier this week we went on a hike past Worthern Meadow Lake to this lake. Steve remembers hiking here as a kid to fish with his family. He said this was the exact rock he remembers fishing off of.

 We followed another trail along the river which is also another great fishing place. It had a lot more mosquitoes though.
Now, this rock makes us laugh. It is the marker we look for so we know which road to turn on to get to my cousins house up Sinks Canyon. Too funny! Wonder what we call it?

Happy Anniversary Stevo!!

Happy 3rd Anniversary. I love you tons!!!

Sinks Canyon and Worthern Meadow Lake

We saw this big horn sheep on our way to go fishing. He was still there when we went home hours later!

We both caught a fish right off the bat and then never caught another. I figure they spread the word to their fish friends to stay away.The next night we hiked to another lake above Worthern Meadow Lake. It was a shorter hike than I thought….only about a mile. It was beautiful!! We are having fun exploring the countryside.Tonight we are fly-fishing in the Popo Aggie River that runs by our house.

POWWOW

We went to the Arapahoe powwow this last Friday night with our family friends Marsha, Butch and their son Jeff. It was fun and neat to see a real powwow. The dancing competitions were really neat. They have different categories: men and women traditional, men’s fancy dance, men’s grass dance, women’s jingle dance, and women’s fancy shawl dance. For each dance there is an appropriate outfit to wear also.

First they all raise the flags and open with a prayer given by the grandfather. Then they start by all dancing



This was our favorite dancer. He was awesome.
