The Paint pots




Steaming Geyser


Old Faithful!


After Old Faithful erupted

Here are mom's pics from the WILD WEST reunion!!! First, I have to apologize about the first picture. I'm trying to figure out my new computer and I'm obviously not smart enough to figure out how to rotate a picture :( Well, it was a good pic so I left it on here...

Mom had this cool WANTED sign. I personally thought Meeshi should have been worth more than only $1000 bucks! I might turn her in... I know where she lives.



This is the cool two-seater bike thing I was talking about! We even had mom riding in it too! The secret is to have BOTH people petal.. or so I'm told... ahem, Michelle.


This is the front of the cabin we stayed in. The beds were REALLY comfortable... yep.


Here's mom and Michelle at the entrance to the PARK!!!

Me and Michelle taking pictures at the paint pots.

Recipe for the paint pots. Aunt Mary said she wondered if that mud would be good for your face... I told her to try it out and let us know.

Michelle and I in front of some hot water...

And this one was like old Faithful.. We were so close we got wet!!!

We pulled over for a quick pic in front of the Old Faithful sign.


Waiting for Old Faithful to BLOW!!!

There she BLOWS!!!

Welp, see ya guys in 2 years!!!
We missed everyone who couldn't make it!! It was really a gorgeous place, and it was nice to see all the relatives!

Here are the last pictures of Mom and Dad's house in good ole Grand Junction. They re-painted the inside and out, put in hardwood floors, Mike put in new counter tops, they got a new sink, used dish washer and stove, and moved the sheds in the back.. the sheds is another story though. Ask dad. He likes telling the story.

Here's Ross', Jackson's, and lastly Shauna's old room.
Ben, Mike's, and Michelle's old room. Michelle painted Calvin and Hobbes on the wall!
The front room (which used to be a bedroom until mom got mad one day and slammed the wall down).
The dining room. New door and the sliding glass door that Vega used to get her nose prints on is replaced with new windows.
The family room. Who painted the BLACK ceiling?!?
Dad and Mike unloading the trailer.
The green shed.



Go Bronco's!!!
Dad moved the shed... I know, he can do just about anything.
And the garden shed was moved to the back back yard. Right where the half-pipe used to be.

Looks really good!!!
That looked easy. Just teasing.

Mom and dad put in A LOT A LOT of work to sell their house. It looks super good and the new owners are going to have a awesome time living there!!! Who wouldn't want that house? There are so many memories at the Junction house. Remember the TREE HOUSE? the HALF PIPE? the BASKETBALL COURT? the fort the boys made and we jumped on the tramp from it? the ZIP LINE? oh... the memories are end less. Leave your favorite memory of the Junction house on the comments or post a new post if you want!!!

The WILD WEST Reunion was the 24th and 25th of July. Mom, Michelle, and Shauna took a road trip vacation to WEST Yellowstone, MT. We had a great time! We stopped at a craft show on the way and took our time getting to the KOA campsite. We rented a cabin and we all rode in this sweet two-seater bike thing (mom has those pics) That night we ate with the fam and had a pinata. The next morning we went to Yellowstone National Park. It was so pretty! Enjoy the pics!


This is Michelle with the cousins (and their spouses/fiance)

Dan, Joe, Jim

Cousin Jolie doing her best to crack open mom's pinata. It was kinda hard with this plastic "bat".
Yep... it really wasn't doing anything.
So someone had the great idea to grab a metal spatula...and give it to a 3 year old...
...and 2 year old?!

10 year old is a little better. Seth took it down with one whack!There was a BUNCH of candy and toys in there... trust me. A BUNCH.

Here is Jim and Alshra's fam. (Natalie, Sara, Sonja, and Steven)
I don't know who these people were... they just wanted their picture taken...

weirdo's...

Dan and Joe's fam. Ben, Laura, Seth, Jolie.
Aunt Mary and Diana
Mom and her brothers! Wild West's!!
This is the first thing you see of Old faithful...

Meeshi standing in front...

This the Old Faithful Inn. It was pretty cool inside...Uncle Dan was convinced they filmed Harry Potter here... or at least got the idea from here...


Everyone walking to the gift shops

And... OLD FAITHFUL!!!




Sweet huh? We actually got to see it TWICE! It goes off every 1.5 hours...
Well we had a great time and missed everyone who couldn't come!
