How do you cure Yellowstone blues? Birthday Camping!!!!!

Well good thing we had another trip planned right after Yellowstone to cure our blues. Thank you Alli for having a birthday and for wanting to camp! We headed to Big Cottonwood canyon and parked our butts at Spruces campground. This place is awesome!
Saturday morning we decided to go hiking to silver lake and Lake Solitude. The wildflowers were out and it was gorgeous!!!

Dads Weekend Chili & football

I had to work on Saturday for dad's weekend and you can tell it was really rough! It was dang cold but the food was good and i had VIP tickets to the football game. It was an amazing game and I sat by some very stressed out and intense fanatic males. It was hilarious and of course they offered to explain all the plays for me. One guy behind me got a phone call that when something like this: "I am at the football game and under extreme pressure right now!..." "Yes, i am under extreme pressure! They just got a touch down but are now trying to take away the points."......... "Don't stress me out. I need a time out right now, don't stress me out i am under alot of pressure"..... It must have been his wife but it was extremely hilarious to see a grown man so stressed out over football. Ok, plus he was a little drunk so it made it even more funny. It was perfect weather and all around a great day.

It was awesome to be in the mountains again and shoot stuff up. Nothing living of course. Later on we went to visit his parents in Utah.

The shock on his face was priceless as i sneaked through the front door. The next morning I surprised his dad too. It was fun to be sneaky! On Saturday Blake and I went for a drive up the canyon to Snow Basin resort to see the trees leaves changing and to hike around. We took the gondola up to the top and and it started raining and thundering so we didn't last long on the trails. On the way d...
