Homeward bound.

We passed through the border of Montana into Idaho with glee.  We were almost home.  Our final stop was in Idaho Falls for the night to stay with some old friends.  They graciously hosted our crazy family and treated us to Bear World so we could get a real taste of what Yellowstone was like back in the old days - you know, when bears would climb up on your car and stuff.

                                                     The petting zoo was a nice touch.

                                                   And the rides, very Yellowstone-esque.

MTC buddies.

                                                   Aw.  Sweet little elk-killing predator.

  It's no wonder they make teddy bears - these creature are so adorable, I just wanted to reach out my window and pet them.  I didn't.

                              It was great to visit the Sloans.  Come to Boise sometime!
