Summer in Salmon....and Yellowstone

Let me start off by saying that this summer has been so much better than last summer! It's been so great spending quality time with my husband, and getting to be more involved in his career as a helicopter rappeller. I got to see him rappell a few saturdays ago and it was so cool! I have always been nervous to think my husband rappells down 250+ feet from the sky but seeing it firsthand was so amazing!! I have so much more pride in what my husband does now! Also Chris and I just got back from a trip to Yellowstone National Park and it was so beautiful!! It was so great that Chris couls take a few days of so we could drive there. We saw many bison, dear, and even a black bear cub. We didn't have the best weather there, our first night we slept threw a thunder/lightening storm, and also dealt with strong winds, and some rain. But over all we both had alot of fun and we were grateful for the chance to be so close we could visit the 1st National Park. Salmon has been fun also. The girlfriends and wives of crew members, and crew members themselves have all been so nice! The city of Salmon had a long 4th of July celebration which lasted from the 2nd-5th and is called "Salmon Days". It includes side walk sales, boat races(which were post poned due to the highness of the river), BBQ's a parade and of course fireworks. It was also quite fun to be apart of. Well i'm throwing in some pictures. I'll post more when I am able. Miss all you in Oregon! Be safe!
