Winter is still here

It has been snow here about every other day.  I know the bison wish spring would get here soon.

Snow and the park

We got off work Monday at three and decide to
to take a ride out to Lamar Valley.  It had snowed
all day so it was beautiful.

Tuesday it was about 8 degrees’s, not weather 
for hiking. We headed to Bozeman for a little
shopping lunch and than a movie.

Yellowstone Here We Come.........

It’s that time of year, Yellowstone here we come.

We left March 16th and headed  across country.

We stopped in Memphis to visit with Nancy’s family.

As always we had had a wonderful time.  They take

really good care of us.

We stopped in Park City to visit with friend who work

with us last year.  Spent the night in Bozeman to 

do shopping and eat at our favorite place 

(McKenzie River). 

Sunday morning we headed for the park. It’s always

a thrill the first drive into the park each year.  You

forget just how breathtaking it is.  It’s good to be

back to our spring time home.

A little bit of Florida 

Part of the falls were still frozen

Just a little bit of snow left

Not much left
