Bronco Pride

In Idaho, Bronco football is usually centered around the Boise State Broncos. On Sunday, however, our house was supporting the Denver Broncos for the first game of the season and Manning's debut. The game did not disappoint.

Showing our Bronco pride at 36 Weeks

The Minnow Slayer

Mark went fly fishing with a friend last weekend in Island Park. He learned quickly and by the end of the day the pair could be mistaken for the brothers from A River Runs Through It. Here is Brad Pitt.

The evidence is in the catch; the minnow slayer.

Empathy Belly?

Mark and I went to a birthing class at the hospital last weekend. The nurse teaching the class had an empathy belly for the fathers to wear. I am still not convinced that it is really the same, but Mark informed me that it was heavier than it looked and that I wouldn't understand. Oh sure!
Nonetheless, it was very exciting, and both Mark and I were ready to check-in to our room and get the baby girl here.
Not much longer. Here WE are at 32 weeks.

28 Weeks

I went to Colorado for four weeks during July and had to get a picture of my belly before I left. Here is the little lady at 28 weeks.

Yellowstone

We weren't planning on going to the park on our trip this weekend, but we had borrowed Clair's camera and thought we should try it out on the wildlife in Yellowstone. We were only in the park for a few hours, but it might have been the best animal viewings we have ever had.

Lunch at Canyon Street Grill before entering the park.

There were baby bison sunbathing everywhere. 

I was so excited to see this cute little calf and mother.

We kept driving and not more than 100 yards up the road we spotted this pair. It was definitely the highlight of the trip. 

Some pools and geysers at Black Sands

Guests can sign up to help take down the flags at the Old Faithful Inn. It was really windy, though. I don't think I would have wanted to that day.

One of the pullout drives you can take led us past this guy and some cool terraces and cones.

On our way out of the park that night we saw some more bison.

There were four babies that were chasing after each other. We sat and watched them play for about 30 minutes. We got a kick out of their little snorting, head butting, and bucking.
