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.

Lessons Learned

In the few weeks of our marriage there have already been many lessons. One man's trash is another man's treasure, was the lesson for today. 

Yes, Jennifer is teaching Chris the art of dumpster diving. 

After a delicious dinner, we had a hankering for some baked goods. Exhaustion from the day and our morning bike was setting in so baking something ourselves seemed out of the question. Naturally, we went to a bakery. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the bakery had closed an hour earlier. Thanks to Jennifer's super smeller and past dumpster diving experience, we headed for the dumpster. We were rewarded with delicious orange and cinnamon rolls, nicely wrapped in a box.   Sure they were a little stale, but free is better than not free any day.
