It seems to be that we make it to Mesa Falls annually now which makes sense because it is so beautiful up there. This was Sadie's first time going and she saw saw so many dogs which makes anyplace wonderful to her. She knows how to say "ruff ruff" and as soon as she hears, sees or we tell her there is a dog she ruffs none stop for a good minute.
So I asked Brian if we accidentally dropped Sadie over the edge if he would jump in after her and he told me he would find a way to climb down really fast, but I think he would just have to jump in and chance it because otherwise she'd be a goner! He told me he would probably die if he jumped in and I told him that would still make me feel better because at least we tried... do other people talk about this kind of stuff or are we just weird?!?!
After Mesa Falls we drove to West Yellowstone for lunch. This time we tried Buckaroo Bill's. I asked for lemon in my water like I ALWAYS do and they mixed a little lemonade in my water turning into what Brian liked to call "pigeon water". It was pretty nasty. We got shredded pork and beef burgers. It wasn't the best so don't go there ;)
We have found that the Dairy Queen in W. Yellowstone is very generous though and we always have to stop by. It is always the busiest place. I got my huckleberry chocolate which I am still waiting to savor. We sampled huckleberry licorice (delicious) and next time we go up there (in Sept. maybe) I really want to buy the huckleberry gummy bears!
I kinda wonder the story behind all the bulls around the town. If you look closely there are signs that say "do not climb or sit on the bulls" but we didn't look until after we tossed our baby up on it so don't judge us! It was SO well worth her expressions too.
That night we came back and took the walls of water off our tomatoes and weeded the garden so we still felt like we had a very productive Saturday. We are going to have an insane amount of tomatoes so I hope my neighbors and friends like them because we are definitely going to share the wealth!

Lucy informed us all a number of times that if we went swimming in the river, we would go over the falls and drown and die. I don't know if she would jump in and save me.....
I love your new header, Kelly. Sorry we missed Sadie's birthday. But believe me, we all knew that it was her special day last Wednesday. I can't believe she's one! Time flies!
Looks fun! I love huckleberry anything!
You should post some picts of you garden... I'd love to see it. Cute kid, riding comgirl!
sadie looks just like you in that first picture! she's so cute!
oooh what is your trick with tomatoes? i wish I was your neighbor! and not just for your produce. :)
I think about scary stuff happening to my kids and what would I do too. When I have scary dreams that is what they are about, something happening to the boys.
As for your tomatoes, you could make and can salsa. Or can the tomatoes and add fresh ingredients later when you open it. Wiley does the salsa canning around here and his recipe is really good. I probably haven't bought salsa at the store in over 5 years and we prefer it that way!
Let's try again....
