This is how we start off our trip:
WITH THE REALIZATION THAT IDIOTS EXIST EVERYWHERE

This was my first Fischer trip to Jackson, Matt and I had to miss last year because we had just gotten back from Lake Powell and I had just started student teaching, so I was really excited to come this year. Being a teacher does have it's drawbacks, I only get two vacation days a year, so we couldn't take any time off to go up to Jackson. So while everyone else was there on Tuesday night, we met them there on Friday night. On Saturday, we went into Jackson and shopped and then went to Bar J Wranglers dinner and show. Way fun!!! The best was the moment of silence for prayer, and Claire starts praying aloud, "Heavenly Father...." Pretty much everyone heard and was giggling.


My second favorite moment of the night was this...

On Sunday, we drove through Yellowstone, and Matt and I rode with Russ and Margaret. This picture was taken at Fishing Bridge, where you are not allowed to fish.

As we drove, I got carsick while I was searching the trees for wildlife. Luckily we got to see buffalo, elk, and even a bear! He was crossing the road just ahead of us, and about 30 cars were stopped and people were running to get a closer look... ANOTHER TESTAMENT TO THE IDIOCY OF THE HUMAN RACE.


We stopped at Old Faithful just minutes before it exploded, and got to see it with Brad, who was pretty excited. Then Matt found his souvenir, a bison keychain that poops. Yes. Actually the most embarassing part is that I found it and knew he would like it. I didn't want to further my shame by taking pictures of it...
We headed out of Jackson early on Monday, and got back in time to relax in our thousand degree house (our upstairs neighbors turned off the air conditioning... the joys of renting). Back to work and real life, unfortunately, after a great weekend!
