Alicia Busch: Wyoming Trip ~ Post #3

There is an adorable baby in Wyoming..and she is my niece!!
Before we get to the baby pictures I need to cover what we did yesterday. Michelle and Zane went into the Hospital on the 4th and they were in for a long road of labor and delivery. It ended in a beautiful baby girl..mom and daughter are both doing well, so is the dad! :)

Yesterday my mom, my little sister, and I all drove to Cody, WY. It is a touristy town with a lot of stores and entertainment! If you ever drive through..plan to stay a few hours!! There is a lot to do and see! We were going to make it a day trip and started off by eating at this really old style restaurant called Irmas.

The restaurant is also a hotel. It was built in 1903. I love buildings with history like this. Here are some then and now pictures...

Then..

Now..

While we were at Irmas we saw a sign that said the Shoot out was canceled due to the concert. What concert? Apparently The Bellamy Brothers and Suzy Bogguss were having a concert that night! I have grown up listening to both of theses groups. These are two really old country western artists..and my parents are country! The Bellamy Brothers announced that they were celebrating their 38th year as a band. I was defiantly not born yet! Their first big it was in the 70's. Suzy Bogguss has this really great song called "Letting Go". I have distinct memories of my mom and my sisters and I singing this song in the car. :)

We were able to buy tickets right there in the restaurant..so guess what we got..

We had A LOT of time to kill before the concert. We went into almost every store on the strip. We also saw alot of very large fake bison. I thought this was just a Jamestown thing. ;)

We found this ADORABLE little baby store. How do you NOT go in when you know that your sister is in labor at that very moment.

This is how cute it was...

I didn't just take a picture of this for the sake of the blog..I also bought Meredyth this. :) AND it was 75% off!!!

While we are on the topic of shopping for kids. Who would buy a child this?

For those who harbor unforgivness in their hearts towards someone who also has a young child? My mom said that people will put these are their children when they go hiking in the woods. The whistle can scare off large animals and can also help you track down your kid if they wander off. Something about that story makes me not want to take my kids hiking in the woods.

This was one of my favorite stops!!!

Side note..I'm a creationist and I love when Science and Scripture come together. :) It's "A Beautiful Collision!" If anyone is interested I have 10 Dr. Kent Hovind DVDs. :D Movie Night! A pre-movie night warm up..can you spot the lies in the textbooks?

We did a lot more shopping and doing all the touristy things. That took us right up to the concert. This is who I was standing in line with...

I am very convinced in my mulit-gernernational and multi-cultural experiences, that music can bridge any gap! :) It was a really good concert! They both had good stage presence and really great voices! Very tallented people! I could tell my mom was really glad we were able to go! :)
