Mumford and the last of the Ghost Machine

Last night was the Mumford & Sons show. Chris has basically been waiting for it since his mission. It was out at the Great Saltair Amphitheater. At first when Chris heard that Mumford was coming there he was a little disappointed, but that was before we found out it was outside. You might think to yourself that being outside next to the Great Salt Lake would not be that great, but it was a pretty awesome venue. We made it through two openers before Mumford came out. Our words will never give their performance justice, it was simply superb. The talent of Mumford & Sons is pretty amazing. Their next album will be sure to please.

This is off their new album, just hit play and bask in the musical goodness.

Another big event took place today; we sold our Saturn aka the Ghost Machine. When Chris thought of parting with it he started that James Blunt song "Goodbye my Lover." A little dramatic? Quite possibly. That car got us through a lot, well it got Chris through a lot and it got Jennifer through three months. Sure we won't miss all the rattles or noise, but we will miss it for nostalgia's sake.

Lessons Learned in Wyoming

1. Before any trip to Yellowstone the movie Buffalo Rider should be viewed in order to be sufficiently excited about buffalo. We didn't see anyone riding a buffalo, but we did see some great buffalo shirts.

Jennifer was a champion buffalo shirt maker. Chris, Ashley, and Brandon were merely champion buffalo shirt wearers.

There was some buffalo on a buffalo.

2. We are very easily amused by throwing rocks.

3. The best time to be at one with buffalo is in early morning fog.

4. When faced with an animal that could eat you, run towards it. Most Yellowstoners seem to adopt this action.

5. The earth does some crazy things.

6. How to be in touch with Chris' inner Ansel Adams

7. The Grand Teton National Park is one of our new favorite places.

8. Jennifer learned that rafting isn't as crazy as it appears on TV.

A big thanks to Chris' relatives who took us rafting, it was a pretty fantastic trip.
