Flamingo Postings

Greetings Everyone,
The Mrs. and I had a wonderful vacation to Yellowstone and Laura has graciously allowed us to use her blog to tell you all about it. :) We all traveled down to Yellowstone in two different cars. Luckily the Mrs. and I had packed light so there was plenty of room for everyone else's stuff. Generally speaking we spent most of our time riding in JonTon's car because it gave us a better viewpoint. Everyone was very accomidating and the Mrs. and I had a great time. There were aspects of the trip that the Mrs. and I chose not to participate in as we thought they might be a bit adventerous for us. After all, this was our first vacation. We didn't want to over do it. Still, we had a great time. We saw lots of geysers, lots of animals, and the Continental Divide (several times). It is nice to be home and resting. We are looking forward to the possiblities of future vacations. Thank you to everyone who allowed us to participate in this one. See you all soon. Please Enjoy the pictures below from our trip.

Your Friends,
Mr. and Mrs. Flamingo

I am not sure who took this picture of us, but at least it didn't wake us up. :)


Us and the family in front of Roosevelt Arch at the entrance to Yellowstone.


A motel we saw on the way, although we didn't stay there the Mrs. and I thought it looked delightful.

We love National Parks!

Dear Milton and Theo,
Since your anniversary we have enjoyed keeping you company out at your farm. However, recently we have wittnessed how busy you have become since deciding to move, and we felt that it was time for us to move on. Truthfully we were beginning to become concerned that we would be accidently taken to the dump or sold at a garage sale. Therefore, we found it necessary to vacate your lovely facilities. We hope you do not feel too bad, for we have truely loved your company.
Recently your family came out to haul wood and we felt it was the perfect opportunity for us to hitch a ride. Therefore we stowed away in their wood loaded trucks.
Since that time we have been enjoying the home of your son. While there we discovered their plans to visit Yellowstone National Park. Since the Mrs. and I have never really been outside of Washington we felt that this was just what we needed. After discussing it with the rest of the your family they have agreed to let us tag along. We are truly grateful and expect the trip to be very enjoyable.
The Mrs. and I have been busy getting ready for the trip. We went to the supermarket to stock up on whatever we might need for the trip and then we set to the task of packing.
Which was quite difficult since we have never really had to think about such things before. However, we feel we have finally successfully accomplished these tasks. We do hope that we can once again visit you once your life has become more settled. You will have to give us a tour of your new place! We will continue to keep in touch. Thank you very much for your care and hospitality. Give Mike our best.

Your Friends,
Mr. and Mrs. Flamingo
