We arrived in Wyoming and Bumblebee couldn't decide if she wanted to play in the backyard or inside with the family. So there was a lot of in and out the back door.
Saturday we went bowling. Eric is a serious bowler, but I am terrible. My highest score was 50 (ouch).
Sunday afternoon we went out for coffee with Sam.
We had a glorious time chatting and talking nonsense. After coffee we went home where all of the guys decided to be manly and watch football.
Mom and I decided to take a break from the testosterone. She wanted to show me this beautiful bird trail she had found on the outskirts of town.
I must admit that there were not many birds on the bird trail, but the fall walk was just beautiful.
We followed the trail and saw many fresh tracks. Mom was kind enough to point out that there had recently been a mountain lion spotting in the area. Fortunately the tracks were mostly from deer.
After the walk our afternoon adventure got a little weird. We spotted a man pretending to have some type of ankle injury. He was moaning and laying in the grass. Two people in full hiking gear (not necessary in the area) were standing nearby and seemed only mildly interested in the moaning man. Mom and I decided that they were doing some sort of training. Still, it was weird.
Next we decided to take a drive up the mountain and check out the fall foliage. On our way up the mountain we passed some deer (not particularly interesting for this part of the country) and then we spotted a large group of 30-50 adult turkeys.
We made it up and over the mountain. It was beautiful, of course.
We headed back down the mountain and spotted a man trying to feed a wild deer with a bag of chips. He smiled at us as we drove by, it was weird.

We made it back to the house and the football game had ended. I took another lovely walk with my father. Then, as a family, we went to see a really bad movie. We all had fun watching the weird movie.
Now, it is Monday morning and Eric, Bumblebee and I are headed back down south. We had a great time visiting with family. We will see them in less than a month when they come down for Thanksgiving.
