Another reason to visit

Emmaline, Elliot and I took a quick trip up to Yellowstone last weekend. It's only a five hour drive - you could easily include it as part of your UT trip...

Yellowstone is basically a big volcano. Over 2/3 of all geysers in the world are there. Elliot had some concern that the volcano was gonna blow while we were there but fortunately that didn't happen. We did get a picture of him in front of a geyser spewing 200+ degree water - hotter than boiling water because of the pressure.

Photos of some highlights below.... we saw a momma grizzly (no, not Sarah Palin) and two cubs but unfortunately didn't get a photo of that...

Progress Report on River Road House

The big news is that the roof is on and here's the proof!

This first picture is taken from the east side. The front door is left of center and will have a small roof over it. This picture is from the north side--the dining room is rotated 15% affording us the best view of the stream. A tarp is covering the window (yet to come) where a window seat & table will be. A dormer peeks out of the master bedroom.

This is the street view (south). As you can see, the roof is watertight but not shingled. Work has begun on the stairs.

Look who is turning 40!

Happy Birthday Al! You are the best big sister ever on the face of the planet!
