CORN

I traveled to Grandma Myers' house today with Mom and Dad to pick corn. We picked it and shucked it. Then I came home, cooked it, cut it, bagged it, and froze it. I have never done this before, so I was nervous that it wouldn't turn out. I think I did okay. 80 ears of corn later, I have 15 bags of corn of about 1.5 cups each. I am really proud of myself. It was a lot of work and time consuming, but I think it will be worth it! Thanks Grandma for the corn and Mom and Dad for all the help! YUM, YUM, YUM!!!

Oregon Coast

We traveled to Oregon Coast this past week with our friends the Griswolds. It was a fun week despite the rainy weather and questionable camping conditions. We traveled to Astoria and saw where Lewis and Clark spent the winter and the Maritime Museum. Then we went to Seaside, Lincoln City, Depoe Bay, and Newport. It was a nice relaxing week with good friends and beautiful scenery.

Yellowstone Wolf Pictures

WOLVES!
While in Yellowstone, we spent an evening watching wolves on a hillside stalking a herd of elk. Some very nice people we met from Utah had a nice spotting scope with their camera attached. Though they did not get any pictures of the wolf attacking and eating the elk calf, they got some of the initial hunt. Check these out. If you click on them, you should be able to zoom in or e-mail me and I will send you the originals. They are intense!
