Yellowstone Trip - Day Three

We spent most of Wednesday in Cody, Wyoming. I lived there from 8 years of age until I was 20. We visited the murals and visitor's center and then had a picnic in the park. Almost everyone went to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center (one of the best museums).

I chose to go see some of my old stomping grounds. This is where I attended 4-H meetings (I took cooking and sewing - I wasn't an animal lover then either).

Here's my high school - Cody High. We were the Broncs and Fillies.

This is the first home we lived in. I don't think it has changed much over the years.

This was our second home - in the Valley View subdivision. It looks much different. For instance, they've added the drive-thru driveway in the front yard. They also sold the lot where we had our 1/2 acre garden and now there is a home right next to this one (practically touching).

This was our third home - on Cedar Lane. I lived here during my high school years. My parents actually lived in a 4th home but since they moved there after I got married, I visited that home but never actually lived there.

I worked at this Dairy Queen. It still has the same owners - Jon and Vicki Clark.

I also worked at Big Horn Glass Company. I did bookkeeping and billing during a couple of summers. I even learned to cut glass and fix screens.


On the way back to camp we stopped at the "beach" of Yellowstone Lake. My children are totally "water babies". I usually claim that they are part fish. They all love the water and love any vacation that involves water.


We also stopped a some mud pots - Dragon's Mouth and Mud Volcano.
