Aysia and Aidan Visit Wyoming

June 5th - June 11th, Aysia and Aidan spent time with their cousins, Taylor and Takoda, in Ryan Park, Wyoming (near Saratoga Springs). For the most part our children report that they had a good time. Unfortunately Elizabeth (a workaholic) worked more than she promised and the weather seemed too rainy to play outside much, still the kids managed to keep themselves entertained.

A few years ago Ron and Elizabeth decided that their happiness together meant that they live the lifestyle taken from the Cowboy era. Elizabeth sold her home in Mountain Green, Utah and moved to Saratoga Springs, WY with Ron, her husband, and their two younger children, Taylor and Takoda, until they could build a log home for themselves in Ryan Park almost a year later. Ryan Park is a small community of log homes, a couple of mini mart stores, and a fire station with year round local attractions as snowmobiling, cross country skiing, hiking, biking, camping, fishing, boating and all terrain vehicles. There are schools in the region but take at least an hours bus drive to reach each day and with neighbors and local towns distant from one another, having children to play with is only a favorite pastime. Therefore, having Aysia and Aidan there to visit for the week becomes a real treat for their children. It also exposes our children to something other than television, video games, radio stations, crowded stores and traffic hour.
