trip out west - part 3

From Yellowstone we headed for southern Wyoming to visit our oldest cousin and his family.

The guys headed home after an afternoon of putting fence post in.

*~Mountain Dew ~*

 On to Grand Junction, CO.   We visited Mum's cousin Jaquie and her husband Steve. 

*~`~*

On our way to Papa Dick and Gramma's we stopped and had a picnic supper by a waterful out of Silverton, CO.

*~`~*

The boys climbed the rocks ...

... and found themselves in very dangerous positions!

*~`~*

Deer in Durango, CO, not too many feet from Uncle Jack's house.

One afternoon we went for a picnic in the hills...

... by a pretty lake.

*~The box ~*  We love our box!  :)

After Papa's and Gramma's we headed for Uncle Wendell and Aunt Jimmie's place.  We got some pictures while we helped butcher chickens.

First, cut their heads off.

Then scald them in boiling water.

Pluck their feathers.

Then gut them.

Pull and cut them apart.  All done!



Ok, hope you enjoyed that!  There is going to be pictures of our wrecked van coming up in the next post.  Stay tuned!
