We began our adventure at Will's pit stop..
and we were on our way.
about 45 minutes into the drive, our friend TJ lost his glasses when he stuck his head out the window. So naturally, Berit and I took the opportunity to take pictures. :)
My car of people
My first time to Wyoming!
Cool kids on the block
I crocheted when we had down time. It just fit the scene.
This is the house we stayed at. It was so nice and beautiful, and so secluded. The name of the road its on is called, "Solitude."
This was at 8:30 a.m. and me and Berit were the only people awake. We walked outside (40 degrees mind you) and realized that the door locked behind us. We had to tap on the boys' window and wake one of them up to let us in.
When everyone was up, we did yoga.
It started hailing!!! It was so cute, anytime anything snowish or nature-like happened, everyone would call out for me because its all so new to me.
The Grand Tetons!!
Everyone was doing couple pictures, so me and Trent, being the only single people on the trip decided to take a nice pose of our own.
That water was freezing... did I go touch it? you bet.
Famous antler arches
My new friend. (took this picture for Dad, do you know why?)
IBC rootbeer at lunch
I did a spread for Cabela's
The girls. "WE OWN THIS TOWN."
The only single people. Kip, Trent and Me. Fantastic.
I loved the open spaces of Wyoming. Made me want to ride a horse or something.
The boys decided it would be fun to stand on the trash can. (i dont know)
I had to bring my slippers. :)
We later shot pellet guns. We were in cowboy country, we had to.
This was the best.
"You don't do nothin' but sit on the porch and drink whiskey"
"I like to kick a pig every once in a while." :)
We also chopped wood, I was feeling very country. (I really did chop wood, this isn't just a pose)
Then it started snowing like CRAZY!
catching snowflakes
I had to take a picture with the big shotgun. :)
Later, we had a dance party. As you can see I was the best dancer.
At church the next day I walked in and saw the missionaries sitting there. Lo and behold, who is one of those missionaries? My friend from home, Robert Beck! So funny to see him as a missionary. Didn't even know he was out here.
After church, we all took pictures. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the group shots, I'll have to get them later from my friend.
American Gothic
Dinner with Matt's grandparents.
After dinner we took a walk to the river
And took lots of pretty pictures along the way
We saw some elk, but this was as close as they would let us get to them.
I love Wyoming!
The girlies
river and the tetons
Finally, we left Jackson and everyone was pretty sad...especially TJ.
I had the best time and I feel so fortunate that I got to go experience something new. I really gained an appreciation for beauty outside of Hawaii and learned that there is such a bigger world outside of my little island.
oh my, where to start...First,nice Lonesome Dove quote. Next, I'm not really sure you should do that dance move too often or ever. And finally, I'm glad you got to go. It looks really great.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed Wyoming. Isn't it beautiful?! All your pics made me miss it! Jackson is so so fun, and there really is tons to do. I'm glad you got to experience it! It's nothing like anywhere else!
ReplyDelete1. Im glad you slept at someones house. I slept in a tent when I went in July, and it was still cold. Plus, you know how I feel about tents.
ReplyDelete2. Your dance moves look a-w-e-so-m-e!
3. That Robert Beck seems cute, you should date him (upon his release of course).
4. You are very adventurous, looks like you had a grand time embracing the wilderness.
The answer as to why that picture is for your Dad...He wishes he was a cowboy. Looks like you had the best time!!
ReplyDeleteThe Grand Tetons are beautiful aren't they? We had a great time there this summer. Glad you have some fun friends to hang out with. Your white jacket/coat is very cute!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! And it looks like so much fun!! Oh, to be young(er) again!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun. I know there is some great joke I should be able to come up with about the Grand Tetons but it just isn't coming to me.
ReplyDeletethanks for crocheting my hat!! glad u had fun!!!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I was looking at all these pictures thinking, Kathleen is beautiful, like model. You really are, its true.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I was thinking, I love Kathleenie, I hope Trevor marries her. There. I said it, its out there, those are my true feelings!
(Also, Wyoming looked like a blast, you made me want to go there, and I've NEVER had the desire to go there.)
that is beautiful!!! what a great experience! glad you are getting to enjoy the west!
ReplyDeleteYou need Bigger pictures...no boys. On second thought I found possible suitor. http://jasonmaurer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/dsc_7098.jpg
ReplyDeleteKathleen, I love love love your pictures! You are so creative in them, oh and so beautiful. And I feel that you should submit your spread to Cabela's so they put you as their next Cabela's poster girl on a magazine...if they have one. Or on the front of their store doors. Glad you had lots of fun and all of this really does make you appreciate Hawaii and get a taste for something differet:-)
ReplyDeleteI spelled different wrong, but I'm sure you understood what I meant:-)
ReplyDeleteI think Matthew's choice for you is fabulous. Jason Maurer for 8 more months would be perfect. Too funny Matt!
ReplyDeletekathleen- love your dance moves. you are friends with really pretty people.
ReplyDeleteisn't wyoming beautiful? It really is a breath of fresh teton air compared to provo. I'm glad I got to see what you saw this past weekend. Great great great pictures. You are so full of life my little kat.
