Animals and camping and cousins ... oh my!

We are finally back from our wild west vacation in Medora, N.D., and I am happy to report that we had a FABULOUS time! I even have photos to prove it :)

Stay tuned to the blog all this week ... I've got lots and lots of photos to show you so we'll have a new blog post each day!

First up, some vacation photos. We made friends with the bison in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Here they are wandering through our campsite.

King of the world ::

Mud is so pretty ::

We were stuck driving behind this guy for about a 1/2 mile ... he followed the curvy road perfectly, then finally moved off the road to poop. I'm trying to keep the blog PG, so sorry, no pooping photo for you!

Oh, it's Bambi!

The boyfriend waiting patiently in the car as I chased deer, elk, and prairie dogs to get some pretty photos. I was pretty unsuccessful.

Me, on day one, so fresh and so clean ::

Me and my cousin Shannon (who, in a weird coincidence, was camping right next to us in the park. It's a small, small world!). Note my greasy, I-haven't-showered-in-three-days look. :)
