Yellowstone Adventure & Fireworks

We came back safely fr the Yellowstone. Really thkful for the weather. Not as hot as expected and quite cold at night. Anyway, yellowstone temp is always lower hee. Saw quite a no. of animals including deers, wolf, bisons, brown bear, and deers with horns (hee can't remember the name). It was a bit crowded thou. Yet its fun becos when you saw a no. of cars parking at the side of the road, you wld know there are animals ;p The most interesting part for me was i never knew that these animals shed too during summer! Except for the brown bear, but maybe he did. Too far to tell, need to keep a safe distance. I must say they look nicer with the rich coat in winter! And the horns are beautiful! Really amazed by God's work. One of the dear walked past our car and i was so tempted to touch his body ;p Guess they are used to seeing humans already.

On the next day, we had a nice encounter too. A group of deers near the river bank. We were very close to them (not just us lah, other visitors too). And you know what, we drove them into the river!! Felt so bad. They felt abit threaten so they moved into the river. And the baby deers swam near to the mother. So cute and touching. Really like babies learning how to swim.

Oh ya, somehow the website or the motel personnel made a mistake. We were short of rooms so in the end 6 squeezed in a room. But not exactly squeeze, we hv technically 3 queen size beds. To me is kind of fun, reminded me of Nav camps ;) Miss the gd old days (Oh no...when someone starts to reminisce the past, he/she is aging!!!)

Oh ya, some of us (in total there were 18 of us who came to yellowstone, wow like joining a tour grp) went river rafting. Hee us not in the pic as i don't know how to swim and florida trip coming, wanna save for the trip ;p. We went to continue on the rest of yellowstone. Indeed, 2 days are not enough to cover the entire yellowstone.

Yet again, comparatively we (most of us) prefer to visit yellowstone in the winter on snow mobile. It more fun that way then restricted by the car. Even though we covered lesser places but the experience was fantastic! But hvg said that the scenery is certainly nicer in summer as all the trees are in green and being bare hee ;0)

Oh ya, not forgetting the firewks on 4th july! It was fabulous! Never ending. It lasted for at least half an hour. We were standing in the cold, thinking aloud when it wld end hee. It was a remarkable memory i must say. Tonnes of firewks in a small town in yellowstone. Hmm those in s'pore can't be compared. In btw, one of the guys joked that we shld sing "We the citizens of s'pore, pledge ourselves as one united pple...." haha really so so funny. Can't imagine what wld the ang mohs standing next to us think!!!!

Hvg said these, the day after return home was a full resting day for me. Really no stamina already. Some of the folks went to watch movie and a lady asked me to go shopping!!! No no not for me. We went out for tim sum and thereaft rot at home the whole day till dinner.

And yesterday was laundry day for me and cleaning up the bathrm. Today, slower pace. Updating blog and perhaps watch korea serial hee. One of dear dear's colleague lend us movies and serial.

Now abt the sad part, i felt neglected by dear dear yesterday and recently. Sometimes i felt i am redundant here besides staying care of the hse and cooking. Also, when we are out w a grp, he is ahead of me, trying to catch shots. Sometimes just find him too focus with what he wanna do and forget i m around. This morning, he apologised and shared that he had been rather super busy and can't find energy to talk to me when he is back home. Hmm can understd that as confirmation dateline is closing. He needs to confirm the engineers and other courses along the way. Ok will learn to bear with it...by God's grace.
