February Parental Visit

I knew that one of my parents' Top 10 Places to Visit was Yellowstone in the winter so, when Xanterra offered  a Frosty Fun package as  part of a raffle, I stacked the deck. Each can of donated food got you a ticket and each dollar you donated got you a ticket. I won. Damn right for all the money I spent. It was a good cause. Anyway, I called Mom and Dad to let them know and they didn't believe me at first. But they didn't turn it down!
Seeing them get on the bus was like watching my kids go off to school for the first time.

They got back from what Dad said was the best trip ever. Mom made him amend it to top 3 since they had just had a vacation where they went to Italy for a week of hiking and wine with three other couples with  whom they are close.
I got one day with them when they got back and we switched my living room and dining room furniture (as well as a lot of other pieces) and then went for walk up to the cemetery. After that, I drove them up to Bozeman and then got back here in time for EMT class.
