almost home.

Shell Falls. WY.

Well, we arrived as planned at Dillon&Renaes house in Wyoming last Monday evening, a couple hours after Avery&Christine and co arrived there! Yes! We got to have supper and evening with them which was so cool before they left Tuesday morning. We walked down to the library with Max and Brett Tuesday afternoon and explored town abit while Morgan spent the day at work with Dillon. Nathan’s arrived Tuesday evening. Wednesday we hung out and spent a couple hours at the sale barn in Worland. You should hear Max auction. The world’s cutest 3 year old. It’s hilarious and Grandpa Bob would be very proud of him.

We all took a mountain drive one afternoon on the 14 up thru Shell Canyon. Stopped to do the little walk to the Falls and had the perfect afternoon to be outside. Shell Canyon is so beautiful with lots of red rock and pines and mountain views. On our 3ish hour drive we counted 36 moose which was also crazy. We became calloused quickly because by like the 10th moose, we weren’t stopping anymore. Just driving by and saying “O look. Another moose family.”

Can you beat this? I trout it.

Friday we all bought fishing licenses and drove out to Sunshine Reservoir because we heard trout fishing was good. Well. If you’ve followed me for long you know that Dillon and Morgan have had a long, arduous fishing journey thus far and luck has not been on their side. Friday that all changed because we all caught fish. Like 18 trout. It was a lovely feeling to pull in one of those babies. Max fished too and Brett cruised around and threw rocks in the water. Morgan took a partial dip in the lake looking for a stuck fishing lure:)

We spent some happy hours with Chad&Carlenes family, a yum new and renewed friendships. The best. We had delish butter chicken at Josh&Miranda’s one night and lots of good conversations with them in between. They live a block from Dillons so we had a campfire with them and Miranda stopped over one morning. Morgan and Nathan ended up helping Joshs move cattle one day. Morgan was in heaven except the next day when he remembered he hadn’t ridden horse since Enderby last summer. So neat to see where Dillon works and meet their new friends and mostly just to all be together as a family. Some arguments which may surprise you since our family is so meek and unopinionated. Haha. Nathan’s and us&Mom left at the same time early Sunday morning and it was very sad to go.

We’ve had cool weather and great scenery. Everything thru Wyoming,Montana, and now Alberta is so green and the mountains have had snow all the way. We had zero problems at the border which we are thankful for. Spent last night in the town of Milk River except town is maybe a generous word. The spot in the road called Milk River actually ended up having a decent campground with super clean showers so a win. Tonight we’re going to park at Ted’s in Pincher and have a family deal at Jerry’s so that’s exciting. We plan, if all goes well, to get to our place in Salmon Arm tomorrow evening. The bus has to tackle Rogers Pass tomorrow so we’ll see how it goes. We are almost home and we can’t wait! Have a good week:) xoxo cheyenne
