Our Trip to Wyoming for Grandma's Funeral

We just got back from our trip to Wyoming to attend grandmas funeral. Her funeral was really amazing. You can indeed learn a lot about a person by looking at their friends. As we experienced Ten Sleep Wyoming in the past it was clear to us that Anella and Hank are a big part of that small sleepy little city. Being there this time we were so amazed to see all of Ten Sleep step up to honor her. She attended a very small church there but every single congregation pitched in food and people to serve food at the dinner after the burial. There were about 250 people in attendance at a funeral that took place in a city of only 300 or so people.

The kids are all very good road trippers. Her is a photo of them in the back seat of the Acura.

Here is a photo of a reservoir we saw on the way up this place is about half way between Shoshoni and Thermopolis. This was a beautiful drive. We had always taken the Buffalo route down the pass.
We had a good ride up with the exception of Braydn getting ill. We ended up staying in Casper overnight at the Motel 6 and I even got pulled over by the police for forgetting to turn on my headlights after I picked up some groceries. We also found that Dawby could sit up by himself when we were in the hotel room.




Another video was taken while were were still in Colorado. Before Braydn got sick (I know I am doing this backwards) he was telling us about his Mack Truck toy that he just got.





So as it goes with funerals this was a sad trip but it was also a celebration of Anella and her life.

Here you can see her Obituary taken from the Northern Wyoming Daily News.
