Joe and Becky braved this big boy....sitting was the easy part, getting on and off...not so easy, but they did it !!

Do you like my hat?

How about this hat?

When in Rome.....

A view from Chief Joseph's Highway.

Well...just when we thought that we had seen everything there is that is beautiful, we travel highway 14 through from Sheridan to Cody. The views were awesome and there weather PERFECT!!!!!! We actually got to see a hang-glider launch from the mountain. That was pretty cool. Staying at the Irma hotel in Cody...built by Buffalo Bill for his daughter Irma. What really neat rooms. All different and each furnished with antique beds, dressers, commodes and even pull chain toilets (some things just fascinate me...lol) Went to the Cody Stampede Rodeo last night. Now, this is a genuine cowboy/cowgirl rodeo and it was great. The clowns were hilarious and the riders got thrown around a lot. One was even thrown right over the fence. We did manage to get Becky and Joe on a LIVE Brahma bull, and the Franks family got to show their true desire to be cowboys! I just love Izzy's boots!!!! Leaving this morning for Yellowstone proper up the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway. TTFN!!! Jer (And yes...that is a live bull!!!)
