4th of July weekend

This year for the 4th, Rohbi's grandparents, Jean and Bruce, decided to take Rohbi to Lander, Wyoming. I hadn't ever been there so I begged to go and they were nice enough to let me tag along. We had a great time! We watched their parade, tried to go to their rodeo but got rained out, visited with friends and family, shopped, and toured. While we were there, we stayed with our great friends, Butch and Marsha, who we actually consider family. They are great people and we love them to death! I thought it would be interesting to see what Rohbi thought because she told Eric and I that she didn't believe that Indians really existed. I told her that when we went to Lander, she would see a lot of them. I think by the end of the trip, she was pretty convinced :) They do the 4th a little different there. The people were letting fire crackers off from the morning until midnight. They make it a huge celebration! "Uncle Dave" bought Rohbi a couple of boxes of fire crackers and she had a ball letting them off. I imagine the cops stay pretty busy there. We actually witnessed how busy they stay right in front of Butch and Marsha's house. It was pretty scary but it sounds like things will be okay.
Thanks so much Butch and Marsha for letting us stay with us and showing us such a fun time! We love you guys!

This was so cool!

Rainbow trout at Sinks Canyon. You can't tell by the picture but these fish were HUGE! I think the sign said that they weighed between 10 and 15 lbs. Rohbi had fun feeding them.
