The last bit about our Wyoming trip...

 

 

I have been dying to share my photos from Wyoming but with all of the traveling there has been no time to upload and edit.  Now that things are finally starting to slow down, I had the chance yesterday to look through the hundreds of pictures that I took (seriously... hundreds...).  I will not bore you with all of the pics but here is just a glimpse of our time in beautiful Wyoming....

One of the first things that we saw once we got to Wyoming

 

 

 

Being a Southern girl, I didn't often see leaves changing in the fall.  This is one of my favorite things and I loved that we were in Wyoming at the absolute perfect time to see the season change.

 

 

Sightseeing in Casper

 

While in Casper, we spent a bit of quality time with Joe's fabulous grandmother, Earlene.  She's probably one of the most fantastic women that I have ever met.

 

Dobs learning that he was as agile as a billy goat :)

 

Fall colors... LOVE :)

 

The beautiful drive to Yellowstone (and beginning to look a little preggy-poochy :)

 

Hooray for Yellowstone!

 

The minute that we were settled, we went hiking in the woods that were right next to our campsite.  The whole time, I was watching for bears... 

 

What I should have been looking for were buffalo!!!  When we first got there, spotting buffalo was like playing a game of "Where's Waldo."  These magnificent beasts can hide in the grass and then immediately pop up out of nowhere!  I'm pretty sure that we walked right next to this buffalo and had no idea that he was there!

 

My honey fishing... 

 

And my precious pup having the time of his life!

 

 

Old Faithful

 

So, I had no idea what to expect at Old Faithful.  I thought that you saw a big ole geyser, cool, and then that was it.  Joe and I actually spent the entire day walking through the park and seeing tons of geysers and natural springs. 

 

Photo fun with Old Faithful! :)

 

 

These natural springs looked like they belong on Mars...

  

I'm not really into geology but this stuff was kind of cool.

 

Hello, buffalo!  We found another weary traveler who was also checking out Old Faithful that day!

 

 

 

 Just wandering along...

 

 

So, spotting buffalo was this fun game... until we found a herd of hundreds of buffalo and then realized that they were everywhere. 

 

 

 

 The Lower Falls of Yellowstone

 

The Upper Falls of Yellowstone

 

 

 

Love this view!

 

 

Mud pits and steam coming out of a cave... I can totally see where the idea of dragons came from...

 

 

After Yellowstone, we moved onto Jackson Hole and saw the beautiful Teton Mountains.

 

And then we made our way to Dubois.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Just a glimpse of the way that we lived for nearly two months...

 

Cooking dinner!

As my hubs heads back to work today, I can't help but feel grateful.  Not many people can take nearly two months off to have an amazing adventure before starting a new journey.  It wasn't all smooth sailing but it will definitely be a trip that we won't forget.  Can't wait to see what's in store for us next!
