wyo.

oh, what a weekend. three days in small town wyoming. oh, it was a delight! food... lots of good lovin' home cooking. family... millions and zillions of sweet sweet family members. guns, livestock, and words you'll only hear native wyomins' speak........

and we're off.

this is cokeville, folks. all of it. the view from "big hill" - home of the dump. in cokeville, lots of fun happens on this hill. and at the dump. really. the dump.

so, night one. we do the outdoorsy, wyoming-esque thing - tin foil surprises over the open flame - on the ranch... with guns. walked away smelling like smoke. mmm...

but, get this. we get to the ranch. way out there at the end of the earth. fun fact - horses live on the ranch. fun fact - i'm afraid of animals that are bigger than me.

we hop out of the truck. britt's brother starts to unload. within seconds... horses. loads of them. coming our way. britt's brother hops back in the truck... peels a tight u-turn... back to the gate he failed to close. dirt. everywhere. and horses. coming at me. oh, man. what a fright. horses. HORSES!

dave, jared, and katie came to visit on their way up to yellowstone. what fun. i owe all my gun shooting skills to my main man, jared.

brittney took us on a walking tour of cokeville. my favorite part - britt said, "there's a new development over there... there's about 4 new homes." cute.

yeah, for real. those are horses clippity-clopping down main street. HORSES!

monday morning, while the girls got ready - ian went huntin' with the boys. that there rodent is what they call a rock chuck. what in the world is a rock chuck? who knows... but it was a heavy sucker.

we said good bye to britt's sweet family. oh-so-sweet. they took such good care of us. her parents are lovely. her brothers are hi-larious {and were raised to be the kind of men that men should be...} her sisters are sweet, sweet, sweet. grandma, grandpa, aunts, cousins... all of them. wonderful.

bye cokeville. i will be back.

detoured through bear lake for the oh-so-fab raspberry shake. yum.

perfect memorial day weekend. perfect.
