West Yellowstone

Over Labor day weekend Kristin and I were invited to go with the Browns, and the Johnson's up to West Yellowstone. We really had a good time up at the Johnson's cabin. The trip started out late Wen. night. We had planned on leaving at around 7 (that would have put us at our destination around 12), but we didn't leave til about 9. It made for a late night. About 3 hours into the trip we spotted an out of control van heading in the same direction that we were. Ill admit I was a bit terrified that we would pass the van for fear that this van would side swipe us. He was out of control. Every min or so he would swerve off the road and then jerk back into his lane. Kristin and I were car pooling with the Johnson's, so we had Paul call back to our Police officer friend that was in the car behind us. In a matter of seconds Matthew our police buddy was on his cell phone calling in the disturbed driver. No more then a min a trooper passed us and pulled over the van. I felt like Miami vice as we followed the trooper to the side of the road, after all I was an eye witness. Matt looked so handsome as he stepped out of the Honda that he was driving to assist in the capture of this delirious man. (I could see Matt's badge and gun attached to his hip) I then got out of the driver side door of the vehicle that I was in and drew my weapon and yelled, "PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM". I was about to take this man down on my own accord...
...... Just kidding... I stayed in the car while the real troopers took care of this crazy. We were on our way in no time and then about about a mile down the highway we pulled off for fuel. Not more then 15 mins later the van that we had just pulled over not more then 20 mins earlier was fueling up next to us. Go figure, he must have just been tired or something. He must have came to get a red bull.
We had so much fun during the weekend. We had a couple of 4 wheelers, and a dune buggy that I rolled. Paul's family has had this cabin for years, and the carpet was amazing. Orange and Green Shag!

Paul ordered some Pizza with sauerkraut, sounded Delicious...

Here is the piece that I couldn't finish... this actually made it to my mouth, then I spit it out. I just can't handle the taste, and on pizza, pizza should have pepperoni...

Take a look at this moose (not Paul, look just to his right our left). Amazing wildlife up in the West Yellowstone area...

These kids are great! We were able to go into town and enjoy some shopping and Ice cream.

This is such a beautiful place, we took the kids here and fed some huge fish (fishing is illegal here) and were able to see a muskrat too!

I had to get a final good bye picture with us all sitting on the porch of the cabin. We really enjoyed ourselves and hope to make this a regular outing. Perfect end to our perfect Labor day vacation.
