This past August, my family and I had the opportunity to spend ten days in Wyoming and Montana. We rented a wonderful home that had been built by an environmentalist; the entire back of the house was glass for incredible animal sightings. Each morning we had a mother moose and her baby visit us and enjoy the salt block strategically placed next to our bedroom window. Over the course of the days we spent at the base of the Tetons, we hiked over fifty miles and saw moose, deer, baby ducks, hummingbirds, and a coyote that visited us one evening.
I know that it was a difficult time for some of my students for me to be gone the first week of school, but the break was so invigorating that I am certain that I will be a better consultant for all of you after recharging my battery and surrounding my self with my wonderful family and the awe-inspiring Tetons.
Here are a few of my favorite pictures that we took on our trip.
