Summer is officially here!

Well, Friday was the first official day of summer! And to make it even better, summer is finally making an appearance here in Rexburg. Yes, after 7 weeks of rain and the temperature never getting out of the low to mid 60s (on a good day), we now have sun and temperatures in the 80s. I starting to think I wasn't going to have to use my fan at all this semester!



To celebrate the warm weather, Holli, Em and I headed up to Yellowstone on Saturday. We had a ton of fun and saw lots of animals! Except we didn't see a moose...bummer. But we did see bears, a fox, a yellow bellied marmot (aka rockchuck), elk, deer, a buffalo.

I am no longer a fan of the buffalo since we, along with a million other people, we stuck behind a huge herd of over 100 for over two hours on the road. We couldn't turn around and the only place for the buffalo to go was straight since there was a mountain on one side and a river on the other. But finally after two and a half hours and only going 3 and a half miles in that time, the buffalo finally came upon a field where they could hang out. Because of this delay we missed two showings of Old Faithful and decided not to wait to see the next one. Maybe next time.
