Yellowstone June 2008 Slideshow

Yellowstone - June 2008

Lynnette and the kids arrived at their new home in Idaho Falls early in the morning on Monday, June 23, 2008 - Greg and Lynnette's 24th wedding anniversary! They had planned a trip (Greg's business trip but lots of fun stuff to do) to Yellowstone the same week so Tuesday afternoon they were headed to Jackson, Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park. While in Jackson Greg went white water rafting (Lynnette missed out on a lot of fun because she decided she had children back home who needed her so she didn't dare risk her life on the white water rapids of the Snake River! LOL!) Greg had a lot of fun on the rapids and dove out of the raft at one point and was almost left behind to face the rapids alone! Luckily he is a strong swimmer and made it back in the raft before they hit the rapids! The raft Greg was in was tossed and thrown around on the water but stayed afloat through the rapids and the rest was "smooth sailing!" We went back to the point where there are some really big rapids (called "Lunchtable") and watched a number of rafts go over the same place Greg's had gone a few days before and within the span of about 30 minutes we saw 3 rafts flip in the midst of the rapids! One poor girl fell out just above the rapids and was pulled under and "rode the rapids" freestyle to the end! She came up on top of the water at the bottom and seemed to be alright and someone pulled her to shore a little down river.
Old Faithful was beautiful, although it didn't seem as big as it did when we were there a year ago, as the wind was blowing so it didn't really get to reach it's full height before the wind blew it off in every direction. I have included a picture here of Greg and Tyler... when we were walking back to the car from Old Faithful Greg ran into Tyler Cox, a Priest from our Santa Clara Ward in the parking lot! He was there with his family taking one last trip before he leaves on his mission (his farewell is this Sunday.) What a small world!
We had a great time in Yellowstone and Jackson while spending time with our Kyani friends and celebrating 24 years together.

Cloves Go To Idaho!

Greetings!
We packed up Vinnie (the cat) to take him home to Idaho! It was a long trip. He had to be tranquilized because of his fear of cars. He did well until he fell out of the carrier! We scooped him up, put him back in, and stopped at Grandpa and Grandma Clark's to give him another tranquilizer so he could make it the rest of the way. He is finally home in Idaho and will put his long hair to good use in the winter.
While we were in Idaho, we went shopping, to the zoo, and took pictures of the Temple grounds and falls. Here are some pictures to show some of the thrilling things we did!
Bye for now...
The Cloves
