Yellowstone Update

Ok so i apologize for the few who are following and rarely have an update, i am a terrible blogger! There has just been so much 'going' going on that i find it a real challenge to actually sit down for a second and be at a computer and write in this here blog! Who woulda thought this city slicker girl would find great pleasure backpacking through the woods and up mountains... I love it out here, NYP is home to me :]] But ok i have to go pack for another back country backpacking trip so here is a little update and pics :]] LOVE YA'LL be back aug 9th!

I am a terrible blogger, I am sorry I have not

been keeping ya'll up to date on whats going on out here

there is just so much GOING I find it hard to find time

to blog! I have two weeks out here and its not a count

down I really care to count down. I love it out here and

not looking forward to waking up to cornfields again.

I will blog more later, latest news though.... I am going

on another back country back packing trip this weekend

and i am soooo excited!! [Never thought iIwould hear those

words come outta my mouth!]

Happy 4th Everyone!

Ok so the firework show was viewed from the car as we drove to our

campsite at Antelope Flats in the Tetons!

But who needs fireworks when you get a nightly sunset like this...

I love it out here, i have exactly one month left see you soon, blog ya sooner :]

Well I have found my little hide away place on the lake! The bear barriers were lifted Tuesday and the beach no we have beach access! The weather has been perfect and actually warm! With all this hiking I’ve been doing I could use a couple days at the beach! Last Thursday I went on a 16mile camping trip to ShaShone Lake that was quite the adventure.. lets just say I have taken it easy since then. The trip was strenuous but over all it was amazing. Looking back on how many miles you have hiked at the end of the day is one of the most rewarding feelings. Def some life lessons being learned out here. The people here are all someone to take interest in and learn something from them!
Last night I found myself once again on the hotel side of the park listening to a a group of violinist. The flawless violinist played beautifully, makes me wish I could play an instrument! I was intrigued and found myself wishing I was a little girl again when a little girl next to us didn’t give a care in the world about what others thought as she twirled around in her pink little dress. It was absolutely precious! There has been a lot of hussle and bussle around here these days after a ten hour work day the night was everything I needed and more!
My work days have been long but I am just one more long day away from the 4th of July festivities and I cannot wait! The week has def been productive with long work days AND I just have to tell the world this because I am so proud, the roommate and I rearranged the room [we bunked our beds!] and decorated the walls [I kno I am only here for another month ha] and the place looks very close to “coolest dorm” in Mallard Hall :]
Tomorrow will be exactly half way, one month in one month away from out. I love it here and if school was not in the picture I feel as though I wouldn’t mind staying here till October [close] Yellowstone is my home and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
