Over the weekend we took a trip to Buffalo and the Big Horn Mountains. On Friday, my brother, Dr. Matt, worked on my tooth which needs a crown. (By the way, I still don't like going to the dentist, even if he is my brother!) He did a great job; so professional and caring.
Then on Saturday morning Brad, the girls, and I ran the Klondike Rush 5k downtown Buffalo. After that we went to the parade and then headed to the mountains.
After a one hour and 45 minute drive, we finally found the campsite Richard had saved us. Matt, Kristen, Abrie, and Addison went with us. Addie spent Saturday night with us in the camper while Matt, Kristen, and Abrie made it back to their house in 19 minutes. They came back up Sunday morning. We played games, rode 4-wheelers, and of course we ate!
Sunday night Matt took the girls home with him. Later that night Richard lead Brad and I on some 4-wheeler trails that go almost all the way to Buffalo.
Monday morning we decided to take a hike that Richard guessed to be 4 miles roundtrip. So Brad, Richard, Skylar, Bonnie, and I started out across a field. Nine hours later we were finally back to the camper packing up to head home. It was quite the eventful day. Long story short: never split up from your group when hiking unless it is an emergency and when you say you are going to stay somewhere to be picked up, don't move! As it turns out everyone is safe and accounted for.

Sadly, these are the only pictures I ended up getting while on our hike. My camera ended up in Brad's pack and he hiked quite a ways behind me for most of the hike. Next time, I will just wear the camera around my neck!
