Day 10




This is being written many days after the fact so I'll do the best that I can....

We left Greybull and headed to Cody. It is such a nice town! We enjoyed a great breakfast and were tempted by their huckleberry muffins. Too bad they were all out..BUT, they did have them at the buffet, which Brenna was eating. The waitress told us to have Brenna grab them there and give them to us... so much better when what you're planning to do is endorsed by an employee! Yummy muffins. Turns out that huckleberries are a big deal here ~ you see them in ice cream, chocolate, etc.

We headed off to the Bill Cody Museum, which consists of 5 separate museums. It is such a well done museum. Great displays, information and activities. Our favorite was the wildlife museum which included a 'passport' program for kids which Brenna loved. The Indian museum also consisted of great methods of displaying and communicating the material, very interactive. After the museum, we decided we'd start looking for a place to stay (remember, loose trip). We were shocked at the prices we were coming across and decided we'd check the local KOA again. Turns out to be the best decision. We got a 'bunkhouse' for about 1/3 of the price of a Comfort Inn room and it consisted of a living room, kitchen, table, bunk beds, bedroom, and bathroom. Now, for those for you unfamiliar with KOA's this is unheard of luxury. Plus, it was brand new. There were 2 pools, jacuzzi, a 'jumping pillow' (basically a huge inflated pillow/trampoline in the ground that Alex now thinks we need at home), etc. Plus, an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast for $2!

We ran back into town to go to a special store ~ "Because of Brenna" but it wasn't open on Sundays. We did manage to take a family photo... at an old-fashioned photo store. We all got dressed up and had a lot of fun. Then we headed back to our 'bunkhouse' to make dinner, swim and watch a movie. It was a great evening!
