So much has been happening! Here is the update!
At the beginning of July we had a bonfire/s’more and weenie roast with, who better than, Ashley and Scott!
Then, July 22nd I graduated!! My wonderful parents, little sister and brother all came out to support me! They are the very best and didn’t let anything stop them from making it out here!
Right after school was out, Dave planned (the night before) a backpacking trip and the next morning we were off! We hiked to Union Falls, about an 8 mile hike into Yellowstone. They are these beautiful falls with some pools nearby that are pretty warm.
We started off on the wrong trail but Dave’s man senses kicked in and he got us on the right path. We crossed 4 rivers (tip toeing across logs and braving the current in others) and scaled two mountains.
We packed in, missed the campsite, looked at the falls for 5 minutes but had to leave because the mosquitoes were so bad and went back to find those wonderful boy scouts. We never actually found those warm pools (they were supposed to make this whole hike worth it!). That night there was a horrible storm but luckily we stayed dry. The next morning, of course all the mosquitoes were still there so we hiked back out as fast as we could.
It was definitely an adventure!! So much fun but we’ve never been so happy to be back in our car!
