This Means Something - Devil's Tower

Devil's Tower July 9, 2008

Stops along the way

The whole Turner family stops to stretch our legs.

(except Nikki - she wanted to stay nice and warm in the car.)

These pictures were taken near Little Big Horn.

Oh, The Places We Have Gone...

Hello from Yellowstone National Park!

I am so tall when I ride on Daddy's shoulders.

We pulled over to take pictures in front of the Elk!

(C-E-N-T-E-R-V-I-L-L-E, Centerville Elks are #1!)

Sadie is so big!

Team Turner with a family of Bison in the background. The park newsletter said that bison can be dangerous so we couldn't get too close.


This is me (with no pants - due to a spill) on a wooden walk-way that overlooks some of the geysers.

It is hard to read but that sign says, "Old Faithful Geyser". You can see the steam in the background. According to the brochure, Old Faithful errupts about every 90 minutes.

We got all the way to the geyser and our camera died. So Daddy had a genuis idea to charge it with a plug that went into the car lighter. (I know this sounds easy - but we had to plug in a plug in the lighter and hold it.) We hoped that the camera would charge quick enough so that we didn't miss the eruption.

So here is a picture after the battery was charged a little (you can see it is darker) and we didn't miss the eruption!

What a great family picture.

Some of you saw us on the webcam that the park has overlooking the observation deck.

There it goes! - Amazing.

(Mommy said that it will be pretty cool that I can say I have been to Old Faithful, but Daddy said that I would say, "Yeah, but I was just a baby so it doesn't really count."

Leaving California

Finally - goodness it has been too long. So we now have a new camera battery charger and Mommy can tell everyone about the Turners' July

I am so lucky that I got to play while Mommy and Daddy cleaned and fixed up the house!

Doesn't the house look great! Daddy painted the door and Mommy fixed all the flower beds. I had fun sitting outside with Mommy when she was planting the flowers.

And here are some pictures of the window frame that Mr. Halverson built.

(We had to post this because he did such a great job and he never saw the finished product!)

We will miss you Halversons! I will especially miss Mr. Logan!

Here is the finished laundry room. Good-bye orange and brown - Hello tenant-friendly neutral!

Good bye Michele, we will miss you and Abner.

The Thomas gang stopped by to see us off. We miss you guys!

Here is a rare picture of me sleeping on the futon mattress in the middle of the family room. I was very fussy because of all the confusion. It took Mommy and Daddy all weekend to pack the two storage units. We had hoped to leave on Friday or Saturday - but we didn't hit the road until Sunday evening. (7/6/08)

Good-bye Sadie's room.

Good-bye California!
