Mom's Visit

My mom came to visit in July.  I wanted her to experience Independence Day in what I consider 'small town America'.  We had a great visit which included a trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Grand Tetons National Park.  We also hit the rodeos in Cody and Red Lodge....I've probably seen enough rodeos for a while.  We wrapped the Fourth of July up with a seafood boil party and a BEAUTIFUL double rainbow (see pictures below for proof!).

We of course hit up the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar.

A little odd but they have four of these arches, one at each entrance into the main square downtown. The antlers are collected by Boy Scouts (I think) from the National Elk Refuge just outside Jackson Hole.(Where the Elk spend winter.)


Grand Tetons....they aren't called Grand for nothing!

I could have sat there for hours just soaking it all in.

This guy was great, posing for the camera!

A Reindeer!  Or maybe an elk.  :)

A Moose!  We saw him just as we were leaving the park. 
He was great!

Cody Rodeo - They raised the flag onto a firetruck ladder.  Beautiful.

Double Rainbow!  The colors were soooo vibrant!

Ahhh yesss, Independence Day done right.
