Fun times!

Way back a "long" time ago (about two months), two lovely ladies came to visit me from Wisconsin!  They were here for a crazy-short three day visit, but we had a lot of fun (or so I felt...I didn't ask them!)! :)  Here's a bit about their visit.  These pics were selected out of 600, so there's LOTS more that happened during their visit and I'll show those pics later. :)

Oh, and don't forget...if you click ONCE on each picture, it will open up the picture to a bigger view! :)

Beth is one of the girls that came to visit.  This pic was taken while we were all hiking around one day:

Jessica was the other girl that was out here for the visit.  This pic was taken on the same hike as the pic that was taken of Beth & I.  Yes...there were still large patches of snow up in the mountains that we were able to hike around on:

This was ONE of the many beautiful flower pictures that were taken that day.  It was cold and rainy on our first day out there, so we ended up taking a second day trip out there and that was much better weather.  It just opened up opportunity for LOTS more flower pics! :)  It was great!

On the first rainy day of our adventure, we decided to head back for home because it was just too rainy.  On the way back, though, I was sure I had seen some elk, so we swung around to drive back and look.  We couldn't find them, but we noticed a car had stopped in the road, so we slowed down to see what they were looking at and we saw this gigantic MOOSE!  I've lived out here for nine years and this was the FIRST time that I saw a moose up in these mountains.  It was awesome! :)

We never did see any elk that day or the next and I was kind of bummed about that, but on the way to go rock climbing, we got to see a TRUE Wyoming experience...cowboys moving cattle! :)  I was excited for my friends to actually see this because it's just a neat experience.

We finished the day hiking and climbing and it was then time for the girls to head back to WI and for me to head back home.  So, we said our goodbyes and off we went in our separate directions.  Wouldn't you know, less than three miles away, I saw this massive heard of elk on the side of the road!  I was SO bummed that the girls missed it, but SO glad I was able to catch some photos of them.  They're such beautiful animals.

And that's that!  We also went to the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo and out for sushi, so I'll show some of those photos later on.  For now, though, take care and have a great day!!  Bye! :)
