Our growing collection

These are the latest additions to our glass collection.

Yellowstone

Grand Teton

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.

The Collection Begins

While in Zion, we decided that we wanted to start a collection that would highlight the places we've been. The collection needed to be something consistent that we could get just about anywhere. Spoons? Too old fashioned. Golf balls? We don't golf. Keychains? Kind of tacky. T shirts? Unoriginal. Playing cards? Chris doesn't like card games.

So what did we decide on?

That's right shot glasses. The classy collection.

I mean sure we don't drink alcohol, but we like plenty of other drinks in small portions. There it is, the first installment of our collection.
