Grand Tetons/Yellowstone

We had a great time on our vacation with Ed and Sara Staker and their girls.  My PHS friends might recognize Sara as Sara Skousen.  We left Thursday and drove to the Grand Tetons, where we spent the night.

Grand Geyser

This picture doesn't begin to show how huge this geyser is.  It is much bigger than Old Faithful and lasts for about 9 minutes.

John and Sherene McClellan met us there.  They drove up on John's new motorcycle.  He was kind enough to give Janae a ride, making her day.  Unfortunately, there are no pictures of this momentous occasion. Also, there are no pictures of me included.  Ed took many pictures and I will include something with me in it as soon as he gets us some copies.  And then I will prove that I was there.

Janae's Room

Janae decided to clean her room.  It has been pretty scary lately, so I was really happy.  I don't have a before picture, but I have a during.

She moved almost everything into the living room.  This is only a small portion.  I couldn't get everything to fit into the picture.

This is after I shampooed the carpet.  (Who knew that there was carpet under all that stuff?)  For those who know Janae and her room, this is really astounding.  She is now going through everything she moved into the living room and getting rid of a lot of junk.  More pictures to come when she has moved back in.
