Home at last...

Well, Avery and I leave Thursday (tomorrow) to head back home. Though we are sorry to leave Tyler we are very excited to be going back to Pocatello. The good news is that Tyler will be heading West also hopefully next Wednesday, to be home in time for the holidays. The bad news is that it does look like they will be asking him to come back for a few more weeks. Which is good and bad news in itself. However, he will be bringing the trailer home and if and when he comes back for the last bit, he will just stay in a hotel. That is all for now!!

Working at the Railroad!!















Tyler had the afternoon off this week and so we headed over to the Douglas Information Center and Railroad Museum. It was neat to see all the rail cars, from the dining car to the Caboose. There was also a Great American Jackalope...well there should have been, seeing as this is the "Home of The Jackalope." It is the pride of the county, all the Jackalope around here!! Everwhere you turn, there they are!!! Avery really enjoys to pet the stuffed Jackalope at the KOA office...everytime we go in there, she is enthralled at the soft fur and the antlers on his head!!!

Notice, too, Avery's favorite outfit. Ever since Halloween, she finds her Cinderella Dress and wants to wear it!! It's this week's "must have!!"

Papparazzi!!!




Caught on Camera!!! Avery thinks she's pretty special in her hat and sunglasses!! Last night Tyler popped some Sunday Popcorn, and Avery just had to show off her stuff to distract him while she swiped his prized popcorn!!

We got these sunglasses and now she wants to wear them at all times. The hat still has the mittens attatched to the top of them, as I am trying to decide if it really fits her, but she loves to wear it all around the house as well. Pretty cute, if I do say so myself!!!











Casper Mountain




































Last weekend we went up behind Casper to Casper Mountain. From afar, it just looks like a ridge that runs east and west, nothing real excting. But as we drew closer, we could see that to get to the top, we had to climb up a road that had a drop off, a sheer cliff we had to climb. It was very interesting. On the top, we found the ski lodge, Hogodon, and then some good nature trails that are also cross country ski trails. They are lit at night with street lights. The pics are from our "hike."
