After a relatively sleepless night due to Clark's stomach virus, we successfully got a late check-out time of 12 noon. Not late enough, but better than nothing. Clark really wanted to come with us, and tried to get up and get dressed, but was too fatigued (his own words) to do so. Grandma suggested she hang out until noon with him staying in bed, and the rest of us go see Mammoth Hot Springs. It felt bad to do such a thing, but it did make sense. The other thre...

After losing all of the work she had typed two days in a row, Grandma has given up typing, I'm sorry to say. You will just have to put up with my boring, matter-of-fact journals. I am so far behind that I don't have time to be loquacious! On Tuesday, we woke up in our cozy little cabin and settled in for a delicious breakfast of cereal. The kids vacillate between not wanting to go anywhere for meals, to absolutely hating having cereal (Clark.) Cereal in the cabi...

Paige is relinquishing the typing duties. There isn't enough time in the day to break camp, edit pictures, drive, make camp and then type too! Mom is a much better writer anyway...

Paige and the boys got busy with breaking up camp while I worked and slaved in the camp laundry room.I had to bump one of the workers...

It was cold last night! (maybe 40 F?) I slept with my head completely inside of my sleeping bag. When I moved at all (including to inhale/exhale) my hair made noise inside my bag and I was convinced that a bear was circling our trailer. It took me a while to figure out it was my own hair, and by then my heart was beating so fast that it took forever to go back to sleep. We all woke up and the kids did NOT want to go get food. They wanted food at the trailer. We ...

We woke up to Grandma coming in from doing her laundry. Great news! All of the mud came out! Even the mud on her sneakers! I'm sure that the Holiday Inn washer has seen better days, but her clothing is clean. We all showered up, enjoyed the continental breakfast at the hotel and got on the road. Nona was excited to see that we were in the same city as the Museum of Idaho, which was showing the "Wolf to Woof" Exhibit. We saw signs for it most of the day...
