Yellowstone and Jackson Hole!!

It really has been far too long since we posted a blog (future blogs to explain all that). The last week in July we had a Johnston Family Reunion and we were all in
Yellowstone together. If you have ever been to Yellowstone before you know that there is a lot of driving and stopping and getting out and taking pictures, etc. Karen being 7 months pregnant was quite the trooper during all those hours in the car. We had lots of fun and if you really want to see more pictures and details you will just have to leave a comment and guess we will see what happens!




We saw tons of animals (mostly buffalo who are obviously used to the cars and don't care to get right in your way, see below). We also saw a couple bears and some elk and deer. We didn't get to see a moose but that is okay, there is always next time in a few years when we muster up enough courage to go and do it again.





We also went to Jackson Hole one day and spent some time in the city and saw a cowboy show that night. The show we saw is called the Bar J Chuckwagon. It is a chuckwagon dinner with an old cowboy show. During the day we went and did an alpine slide which was a lot of fun and expensive (It is Jackson Hole, what can I expect?). Then we spent some time downtown and we made our way to a cool little collectible/comic book shop and I found the dodge city and fistful of cards expansions to the BANG! card game (if any of you have never played, I highly recommend you do so - good times!). So I was pretty excited about that. We made a safe trip home and had an enjoyable time with the Johnston side of the family.



Coming Soon: 1 Year Anniversary!!!

I can't believe how soon you're going to have a little Harris running around! Looks like you guys have had some fun summer months. We'll be seeing you in a couple weeks...but not next door anymore which is really depressing.
