1.  Breakfast at Bear Lodge.  There is still smoking allowed in restaurants in Wyoming but I insisted on an area where there was none.  The waiter didn't want us to sit in the back because they were expecting a bus load of people but he relented and we had a smoke free, and good breakfast.
2.  Walking by the creek as Wayne and Wes fished.  The water was running fast, high and dirty and there were no fish caught today but it was a beautiful walk.
3.  We also walked around Sibley Lake and took pictures. We  went to the dam and watched fish trying to swim upstream like salmon, then went to the picnic area and fed pretzels to the squirrels and birds.
Watching Emerson throw rocks into the water and putting sticks in the stream to see them sail down the creek.  Just taking it slow and easy with the scent of pine trees and the sound of the water and the sky as blue as you have ever seen it.
4.  Going into Sheridan and got a clean but outdated (so cheaper) motel room.  We went to Cara's (Wayne's sister) to visit and then then to Ron's (Wayne's brother) to visit him.  Amy and Wes took Emerson to the park to play. 
5.  Going grocery shopping and BBQing steaks, and having spinach salad and fruit and resting while Cara was at work. We have had a lot of restaurant food, and it tasted so good.
