Yellowstone

{The world’s most famous geyser, Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park}

Last week Sean and Tony traveled to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons to track the migration habits of two surviving species of “bison” or more commonly known as  American buffalo. The boy’s were completely captivated by these creatures, and decided before trekking throughout the grasslands of the west they would do a bit of sightseeing throughout the area.

Yellowstone known for its wildlife and geothermal features, such as Old Faithful, which erupts every 91 minutes. Atop a volcanic hot spot that is mostly in Wyoming, but spreads into Montana and Idaho, it has many ecosystems, hundreds of species of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles that have been documented, including those endangered or threatened, such as the bison.

Travel stylishly,

Independence Day

IMG_2656IMG_2650Taking a leaf from the pages of my past I have been grilling hamburgers and hot dogs all afternoon to serve with homemade cole-slaw and potato salad. I remember as a child how exciting the Fourth of July was as we anxiously awaited sundown so; that we could ignite sparklers, firecrackers, Roman candles and those neighborhood dad’s who would cross state lines to purchase M-80’s made the season explosive for all the kid’s. For those of us who are not fortunate to live close to a “fireworks stand”, the Internet has made purchasing for the private consumer a bit easier.

Today is Independence Day and to those of us who call America home, let’s come together in celebrating her 241st birthday!

Celebrate the Fourth safely,
K
