Adventure at Yellowstone

Yes we are back from Yellowstone and dear dear has updated his blog, now my turn hee. Overall, it was a very wonderful experience seeing the nature, riding the snow mobile, and joking with dear dear's colleagues.

The trip there was a long journey but an enjoyable one as the guys were joking in the car and competing the car race in a safe manner ;p They really hv a competitive spirit haha
Along the way to Yellowstone, the temp kept dropping. Its really cold. We reached a petrol kiosk to pump our last petrol and a dog tried to approach us. I was thinking where he came from. Is he going to freeze to death? All these came into my mind that i almost cried as how can someone leave a dog out in the freezing temp. Abandoned? Dear dear kept assuring me that the dog belonged to someone and they can withstand the temp. The only thing i can do at that pt is to keep praying for his safety ;(..i just hv to trust that he has an owner.

The next day we went onto the yellowstone journey. It was really nice to see the nature on snow mobile. Haha being the passenger was a bliss, there was sit warmer and back rest so the whole journey was enjoyable. Thks dear dear for being the rider! Hee but i got to try to ride the snow mobile for 2 short destinations. It was fun! Haha but i realised i cldn't co-ordinate my hands very well. If i used my left hand to show signals, i wld go hairwired hee. So dear dear had to help me with the signals and kept advising me hee...."Ok, accelerate...ok, slowly reduce speed...ok, let go"..haha ;p poor driver.

As dear dear mentioned, we saw bisons, moose etc...but a bit far for some..how i wish i can touch them..guess only in dreams hee. They all seem so mild and gentle.

The team fr IMFS was a fun gang. They posed silly poses like kicking, being hit by truck, vomitting etc that made a gd laugh.

Yet the most memorable for both us was seeing the beagles and touching them. One of them was called daisy. 2 girls. They were so so friendly that they kept licking at us when we touched them. Like dear dear said, they made our day and reminded us of our Rolex and Toby back in S'pore.
Last but not least, i am really very thkful for God answering my prayer. I had been praying for good weather, no snow but sun. And He answered. I was so so thrilled that i kept thanking God in my heart. Why? Becos days be4 the journey i checked the weather forecast and it said there was a 50% chance of snow. The earlier grp went and met with snow storm and it kind of gave some minus pts to the trip as they were covered with snow. So i prayed for miracle and God gave. Really thkful that there is indeed miracles and possibilities with God, if u believe. God, thk you.

Below were some of the pics captured on dear dear's new camera. It is really gd i must say. The start up was fast and image stabliser is gd esp when we were on motion most of the times. Enjoy!
