Make New Friends, but Keep the Old!!

We found ourselves leaving Yellowstone with our sad faces on:( We traveled out of the park, and quickly entered a new one: Teton National Park. The one animal that we both desperately wanted to see was the moose, but none had crossed our paths in Yellowstone. We both crossed our fingers, did a rain dance, and shared a pipe of peace in hopes of spotting a moose (the park was located in Moose, WY!). The crossed fingers, rain dance, and pipe of peace did not send a moose our way, but we did see some beautiful landscapes. We had a lovely lunch just south of the park in Jackson Hole, and continued onto our final destination: Rexburg, ID. Awaiting for us in Rexburg, ID were two real beds, a home-cooked meal, and a delightful 17 month-old named Annabelle. We stayed the night with Lauran's bosom friend from high school, Lindsey, and her family. It was sooo nice to be in a real home, and to share some laughs with an old friend. Annabelle is just starting to talk, and is quite the smarty pants. We tried to teach her how to speak chinese(or at least our version of chinese), although she was smart enough to recognize that we were just making it up and would not repeat our "special language." She would however repeat the phrase "Hey Dude", and was even cuter than the Olsen twins when she said it! We played a few card games, learned more about blogging, and slept like rocks! We spent to morning at the park running around with Annabelle, and sadly had to say our goodbyes:( Thanks to Lindsey we hit the road with clean laundry, and a sack full of home-made cookies... More to come from Moab, UT.
