It's an adventure. Our family of five is taking a year off from... the normal. Less work. More travel. Even (gasp!) homeschooling! We invite you to come along with us as we head West. Then on to Europe. Even grand times at home in between! Our goals: Rest. Connect. Experience. We hope to grow closer as a family and gain a deeper appreciation of all that God is, does, gives. Scaled back commitments. Scaled up adventure. Come along with us as the story unfolds!

Animal Kingdom

During our frequent driving (and we did a lot of driving!) through Yellowstone and Grand Teton, we saw lots of wildlife!  We saw several kinds of animals that we'd never seen before.   One way that we knew that there was animal around, was that when we were driving, either traffic would slow down, or lots of cars would start pulling over!  At one point, traffic was so bad, that a park ranger had to come out and tell people to keep moving and not stop.
 We had hoped to see some bears, but none came our way.  There were all kinds of signs all over the parks about being "bear aware," so I know they're out there somewhere!

We saw a few elk, usually there'd be one on the side of the road grazing.

At first, we saw only one or two bison at a time, but when we were leaving Yellowstone, we saw this huge herd grazing in the field.  We've had more than one argument about calling them bison vs. buffalo. 
While driving through Grand Teton, we saw this huge herd of horses crossing the road.  There were probably about forty or so horses being herded from one side of the road to the other.  If we had come along two or three minutes later, we would have missed it!


Anna loves horses, so we had to get a picture of her with the horses!
