If you didn't guess Cheyenne Wyoming, that's ok. Here is a look at our fun trip to the mustache capitol. The Mrs family just moved there a few months ago. Boy howdy it sure is cowboy over there. Cheyenne Frontier Days was going on and it was fun.
I'm just going to start by saying...Wyoming is FLAT!!!! It makes Nevada look like the Garden of Eden.
Next comes the festivities:
Every year at CFD, there is a free pancake breakfast. The city of Cheyenne uses this as a trial run for emergency preparedness. They are testing to see how well stocked and how fast they can feed the town in a major disaster prevented food from coming into the city. The line to get your food was about 1/4 mile long, and we never stood in one place for a second. We were walking the whole entire time. It was amazing! They are really good at what they do.
We show up to the line, and here is this cowboy guarding the line, making sure no one gets out of hand.
If you can't tell what is going on in this picture, this is how they get the pancakes to 10,000 people. These huge wagons are stocked with pancake flippers and they are chucking the freshly make cakes into the air to be caught by boy scouts. The boy scouts take them to the front of the line and the pattern repeats.
This is the little bro hanging off a GIANT cowboy boot. These are scattered all throughout the town.
Onto the shopping;
I guess most of this stuff was so fun because it's stuff we don't see in Provo Utah.
The littlest brother in the bunch moved from California to Cheyenne the same weekend. Can you believe his car? We just kept laughing every time we saw it in the driveway.
One of the days on vacation, we went down to Denver to check out the sites...and by the sites, the Mister meant the NeverSummer snowboard warehouse.
We came unannounced(tried to send an email the week before), and walked into the front door. We looked around the cubicles and only found one guy in his office. We ask if we can tour around, that we were from out of state, and love the boards. He stands up and introduces himself. Turns out he is the founder and owner of NeverSummer. He drops everything and gives us a personal tour of his manufacturing warehouse for 45 minutes. Oh...my...goodness. When he said he could show us around, I could tell the Mister was in heaven. He gave us some awesome stickers (the Mister's favorite) and couldn't have been more cool about the whole thing.
Onto the Mrs family obsession with goblets. We drink everything out of goblets and I don't know why. When we eat home made apple pie...we drink our milk from goblets.
When we have morning smoothies...we drink them out of goblets.
Soda?...you got it! Goblets
We were able to see some family members that we hardly ever get to see. It was amazing to spend so much time with them.
Isn't this the sweetest Grandpa-Granddaughter picture ever?
The (partial) Family
Thanks Mommy and Poppy for letting us stay at the Hall Hotel. We can't wait to see you again!
