June 23

100 miles, 2 hours driving

We had a picnic for lunch today at Madison within Yellowstone National Park.  The boys attended a Park Ranger class and got to work on their Junior Ranger program.  We later went to Old Faithful….we had to wait for about an hour for the geyser to go off.  We all thought it was pretty cool.  We later drove to Grand Teton National Park and had another campfire.

June 24

25 miles, 1 hour driving

Stayed at Grand Teton National Park again.  We went fishing most of the afternoon.  We spent about 4 hours fishing.  I almost caught a fish, but Erin (as we were close to deciding to finish up) caught a good sized fish (about 12 inches).  We cooked it over a campfire later in the evening and ate it for dinner.

June 25

75 miles, 2 hours driving

Drove from Grand Teton National Park to my brother Keith’s place in Freedom, Wyoming.  Arrived around 2pm.  For most of the afternoon, we played outside with water balloons at Keith and Kdee’s house.  Later in the evening we had a cookout with hot dogs and s’mores.

June 26

150 miles, 3 hours driving

We stayed in the Freedom, Wyoming area for most of the day with Keith, Kdee, and Zackary.  We saw an elk farm on the Idaho side of Freedom.  We played at a playground for several hours.  We then saw a cow farm.  We ate lunch at a restaurant called Tootsies.  Later in the evening, we drove up to Jackson to go to Bar J Chuckwagon (a dinner and show).

June 27

230 miles, 4.5 hours driving

Went from Freedom, Wyoming to Salt Lake City, Utah.  We arrived in Salt Lake around 4pm.  Both Kevin and Jason were able to come and hang out with us and play on the playground until around 10pm.   We all had a good time.

50 miles, 1.5 hours driving

Stayed in Salt Lake City, UT today.  We got to visit with Erin’s cousin and her family today. 

June 29

515 miles, 9 hours driving

Since we had lots of driving to get to Flagstaff, AZ we decided to not do too many touristy things.  At this point, we were getting kinda anxious to just get back home.  We were all exhausted and ready to get back to our normal routine.  We arrived in Flagstaff around 8pm.

June 30

175 miles, 3 hours driving

Stayed in Flagstaff, AZ and decided to not go to the Grand Canyon.  We instead decided to go home so it would give us plenty of time to clean out the RV and get it ready to return.  Arrived back home around 2pm.
