home sweet home!

we left denver saturday morning (after indulging the kids with a trip to casa bonita for dinner friday night) intending to go to kansas city for the night, then home on sunday. but once we got back in the car, decided upon just driving straight through. we were all pretty excited to be home. there is nothing to rival coming home to a clean house, with clean sheet on YOUR OWN bed! i am thankful for air mattresses - but they just cant compare to the real thing! we had a wonderful time, we saw moose in the tetons, and i got an amazing picture of an elk with huge antlers sitting on a hill in yellowstone. i will post as many as i can!
