YellowStone

Georges and I took a big long trip to our families cabin in North East yellowstone last weekend with My Mom, David, Julie and Moran w/ Nixon. We got back Sept 3. Simon survived the driving, but did really good at the cabin. Our time was spent mostly relaxing in the house and doing some sight seeing at near by areas. We saw lots of Buffalo, Deer a few times, and even a moose once. I was so excited to see a moose. I don't know why. It just seemed like an animal you would never see. Some were able to see a wolf too. My favorite part of the trip (besides reading the twighlight series) was watching Nixon and Simon play together. The couple of hours between there morning and afternoon naps were mostly spent playing on the floor in the main area. After a few surpise hits from Simon, Nixon was on defense whenever simon came around. They played nice and shared most of the time. We took a short hike to see an enormous waterfall. It was interesting caring Simon, and was extremely sad when simon (totally exhausted already) tripped on his blanket and fell to the asphalt scrapping his soft cheek. It must have stung him because he cried in pain the whole way back until he fell asleep ontop of Georges head. On our way back we almost got lost. Missing our last turn off to the West entrance we stopped at famous site seeing place called Old Faithful. We let Simon get the wiggles out and figured out really fast that we were off course. It felt like we were trapped in this neverending forest in yellowstone. We were only 30 min off course, but it felt like forever to get back on track. It was my fault too. Luckily I have a very trusting and patient companion. But the odds were evened up when Georges got pulled over a couple hours later on our way to Idaho Falls. He was only going 70 in a 65. We think the cop suspected our vehicle or something, cause he didn't give him a ticket. It was irritating though. All and all we survived and thankfully Simon slept the whole drive home through the night.
