RV Living

What happened in the RV?  Lots o' driving (1513  miles), lots of BS (the card game), and lots of Archie hanging around.




The End of the Road

We got in last night at 3:30.  Tired?  Ummm ... yes.  It was a great trip - 3,513 miles full of fun, smiles, smelly feet, close quarters, BS in the RV, amazing sites of natural beauty, and good old fashioned family fun.  No TV, little internet contact (hence the spottiness of the blog), and a lot of fresh air make for a great end of the summer!

Rodeo Nite!

It's a new experience for the Tafts - the rodeo.  We hit Rodeo Nite in awesome Cody last night, sitting in the Buzzards Nest and rooting for the cows.  It was very entertaining, especially the bull riding (only one guy lasted the 8 seconds, like the Luke Perry movie) and the barrel racing.  Caroline and Charlie tried to pull a ribbon off a calf but demonstrated their suburban upbringing.   Overall, We think the animals won.

Upper Falls in Yellowstone

Boy do I love waterfalls.
So does Charlie
 



Back on service

Unfortunately, we have left the beautiful borders of Yellowstone and the Tetons.  However ... We now have some cell access, so some posts are a bit late.  Once we get wifi, I will add more pics and video, as the thousands of followers are certainly waiting with baited breath ...
Where are we? Cody, getting ready to hit the rodeo.  We just saw the gunfight downtown.  Buffalo Bill won again.

Firehole Canyon

The kids wanted to swim, so we went to a little place called Firehole Canyon.  Getting there was a treat on the big rig, because the sign said "RVs not advised" - but who reads those signs anyways?  We saw the beautiful Firehole Falls (I do like those waterfalls) before getting wet.
The swimming was one of the more challenging tasks of the trip - but a huge adventure for the brave ladies.  Rocks, currents, and the unknown made for crazy fun!
