SUNDAY
Sunday we spent enjoying God's creations. We hiked Blue Basin (which is green...hm...) and found much peace in spending time together 1000 ft. above a breath-taking view. The hike was about 3.5 miles with a thousand foot elevation change. We hiked up the canyon and then around the rim on the top of the mountains--looking down into this blue/green basin. Many amazing early mammal fossils have been found in this "valley of dry bones." It was awesome to look down into the basin and realize that it is the resting place for mammoths, the first rhinos, saber-tooth cats, and Alex's favorite: the fanged-mouse-deer.

My favorite part: climbing over the stile when the path crossed through a private farmer's land. I felt like a real cowgirl up on the mountain side walking the cattle-trail. (=
Sunday night...I won. We drove to the nearest real town and stayed in the Best Western. I soaked in the bath and Alex picked up Pesto Pesto Pizza (yum!). We slept with the heat on full blast all night.
