Summer Break Week 5/Wyoming edition

Our tradition is to go to Wyoming every 2 years. Trent's dad has a ranch there and the kids love it.

Sinks

The river flows into an underground limestone cavern at the Sinks, and emerges 1/4 mile down the canyon in a pool named the Rise.

The exact route of the underground passage is unknown, and dye tests have shown that the water takes over 2 hours to make the 1/4 mile journey between the Sinks and the Rise. Additionally, more water flows from the Rise than enters the cavern at the sink. The Madison Limestone Formation was carved by glacial movement, leaving extensive underground fissures and steep cliff walls.

The river was really high this year.

If you will notice my 5th appendage won't even let me take

a picture with my husband.

but she does have a cute back side.

Grand Tetons

This mountain range is on the way to Jackson Hole.

Jackson Hole

We did the Alpine slide. Tatum loved it and Madisen went by

herself.

Yes, that's right, it's a Grizzly bear and her cub that you

see in this picture. We were driving home from Jackson

and talking about bears and how we've never seen one in the wild

and like 3 minuets later we saw this on the side of the road.

I wasn't sold on the fact that it was a Grizzly but there was

this guy who confirmed that it was in fact a Grizzly bear.

Of course it's really fun to play with snow in

the middle of summer.

Trent doing some ridiculous thing.

4th of July Parade

It is tradition to walk down to Main street and watch the parade.

A parade is never a parade without tractors

This kids stand out on the street and the cars and things

spray water or throw candy. One of the trucks had a

little pool full of water. The guy grabbed Jaden and put him in the pool.

He was a good sport while it was happening, he had a huge smile and both his hands

in a peace sign. It was cute. But then he came over and hid his head. I think

it embarrassed him. This is him "recovering"

Thermopolis

Home to the world's largest hot springs. It said so right on the mountain. :)

Grandma and Grandpa Homec

please excuse the fact that Tatum's legs are spread open and you can see her panties.

I did not notice until I went to look at the pictures and they are all like this.

Very cute kids!!!

We had a great time in Wyoming!!!
