WesT YeLLowsTone

Living in Montana has given me some new experiences. I got to see some branding. I guess I had never really seen it before. So I had to get down and hold some calves. Luckily, they were still pretty little. It was interesting and fun.



Over Conference weekend my family met in West Yellowstone. The park wasn't actually open yet :( ( I have never been to Yellowstone), but there were a few things to do outside the park, including this bear and wolf center. Kason loved looking at the bears! He was constantly pointing at them and trying to growl. It was pretty cold, as you can tell by our faces, and I think there was a good 5 feet of snow! We also saw some bison, moose, mountain goats, and elk. We had alot of fun.

Lindsey...you look like a natural holding down those calves. I think that looks fun. Yellowstone is sure pretty but it looks freezing in your picture! Still wish we were closer so we could do more together, we miss you guys! (It is tennis weather here and I know that is what the boys would be doing).

Branding experperiences are very... unique, it is pretty fun though. I wish we could have been there and gotten Bret in on the action. Yellowstone looked like fun, and cold!
