my last cody post- I promise...

There's a lot to see in Cody, Wyoming.
Not too far from G & G's house is the Buffalo Bill Cody Reservoir.
{Caught ya- proof jack was throwing rocks at hailey...}
Then doing impressions- Moses...and the Karate Kid in cowboy boots.
If anyone needs rocks, I think we brought home half of these & they're still in the back of the van. Just let me know- they may go fast so ASAP ;)
A trip to Cody IS NOT complete with out a visit to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center.

This place is AMAZING. There is a newly build Natural History section that is so interactive & fun for the whole family, a HUGE gun museum, great western art- I'm talking Remington! (Love that) A whole Indian section... it's really worth the visit.

There are these passports for kids in the Natural History museum,
with places to put a stamp- really fun.




Part way through Trent had, had enough.
He started getting distracted & wanted a drink. We went into the little food shop & found some "cowboy" apple juice. Thank goodness they had the real cowboy stuff!

It did the trick & we were off again!

Another great place is the Cody Mural.
It's an amazing & beautiful mural & small museum in an LDS chapel.
Brett used to go to this chapel when he was a kid.

Of course, if you get bored in Cody- you can always go driving on the back roads with a teenager...

    It sounds like you guys had lots of fun. Aunt Mary and Uncle Don look good. I went to her house once. All I remember is the reservoir, and their lane, okay and the horses. Your kids are getting so big.

    I agree, that Buffalo Bill museum is incredible. Calvin could spend days in there, the kids and I hours.

    Great pictures of Moses and the Karate Kid.
