This is our family photo minus jen (she decided to stay in Rock Springs) it is at bloomington lakes, the lakes where they have not found the bottom to. it was so pretty at the lakes the snow was still covering the cliffs next to the lakes. oh i have had so much fun in this fish pound, i was trying to catch a rainbow trout with my hands and i slipped and my right leg landed in the nasty water with dead BIG rats floting!! make me vomit!!!!! i had to walk back to her house with one wet leg and one wet shoe. i felt like i peed my pants on one side.
This is another picture from bloomington lake showing the cliffs next to the lake. This lake freaked me out, so many people have died in this lake because of how cold it is. when you go it is so beautiful but it has this erre feeling because of all those who have lost their lives. they told me a story how their friends drowned in this lake. he and a friend were swimming across the lake and on the way back his body started to shut down and he could not make it, so his friend swam out to get him and while he had him in his arms the guy was thrashing and trying not to drowned so the friend had to let him go so he would not drowned with him. it took them a long time to find his body, and the friend how tried to save him as not ever gone back and will not go swimming. as they told me this i thought i could not do that, let my friend drowned but yet if i had to save myself could i? it also reminded me of my big brothers Nate and Heath, they decided to go swimming in a cold lake and heaths body started to shut down and my brother had to swim with him to the lakes banks, i couldnt not imagen what it would feel like to lose my brothes or to not find their bodies. mind ran in circles while i was at that lake imagen all what they felt.
The Cliffs that surrounded the lake on one side.

Rissa's neighbors had big mamma sauls (Pig) who just had a bunch of babies, so we picked them up and held them. they are so cute and little. their noses are wet and warm. and their squils are so cute.

WELCOM TO BERN! population 126, settled 1876. bern is so tinny i love it. i so want to live in a place like this. where everyone knows eveyone. ans you have your own land.
Dereks cow farm. they had a baby caf so i named it Nellie jr. she is so cute and warm. you just want to cuddle right up to her. i told derek that if i came back and Nellie jr. was no where to be found that i would be rather upset!!
The baby cows would suck on your fingers like it was an utter filled with milk. it was so cute. it felt really cool even though your fingers were all slimmy. they had a bunch of cats and kitties. their is a picture of a cow and a kittie Another picture at Bloomington lakes, where you can swing on a rope and land in the water. Before Derek swong on the roped he asked if any of us were good swimmers just incase he let go of the rope so we could save him. well he didnt let go of the rope thank goodness cause i didnt really want to go swimming in a FREEZING cold lake and maybe have to choose whether i let us both drowned or one of us!
Our Trip to Bern was so much fun. i got to learn more about how Rissa grew up and how she lived. I found a future home for me, i found a place i want to live and raise my family. thanks Rissa for a wonderful time!
