AHHH, Peace and Quiet!

Brandon and I got to get away for three hole days with no kids, and can I just say it was heavenly! We left the kids with my mom and headed to Yellowstone Wy. We pulled up the Mustang and left the truck in West Yellowstone and drove around the park for two days. It was very quiet and peaceful with no one fighting in the back seat or asking how far till the hotel. We got home today and now I am out on my front porch listening to Isaac scream because Aydan won't share the tractor, oh the joys of home!

This picture is for Shawn, Foff. He is a big time hunter and has never been to Yellowstone beforeMaybe if he sees this picture it will make him want to go, this Elk was sitting with about 7 other females I'm thinking he's a polygamist.

This big guy was really this close to us, the picture does not do it justice, he was huge.

Sounds like a blast. How fun to drive around with the top down on your awesome car and run into (not literally) amazing animals. Sounds wonderful.

Way to go!! Traveling with boys is fun, but just you two getting away is a slice of heaven. What fun taking the Mustang--I'm jealous! See you Saturday!

This is Mom "MacKay" . . . I hopped onto your site from Carrie's blog. I'm glad you and Brandon had a wonderful time out. What a way to go -- in a convertible mustang in Yellowstone! I also loved scrolling through the pictures of your boys. I can see a lot of Neeley in them. Sometime you'll have to leave them at the MacKays!

Enough of the peace & quiet, get a new post! Gee, I'm sounding just like someone that leaves the same comments on my blog!

Yellowstone would have been fun in the Mustang, but you probably felt the crushing of any small animals under the tires a lot more.
