Oreo and Callie are sisters of family of 4 siblings. They traveled by the car for 2.5 hours and came to our house when they were 3 months old. At beginning, they were very scared. Actually I was nervous too, because I never had experience with cats before. We carefully observed each other. I feed them and talked to them. Kittens like soft voices, and … Continue reading Oreo & Calie

We went to St Louis Budweiser Brewery tour after Christmas holiday in 2019. It was a fun and fascinating tour.

In 1852, the St Louis Brewery (Anheuser-Busch) was founded. The St Louis site has been the … Continue reading Budweiser Brewery & Clydesdale Experience

When we walked on the trails, I felt the heat … Continue reading Experience of Volcanoes

My first time for riding and driving an ATV was on the mountains of Wyoming. It was exciting adventure. We rented a 2-person ATV at the “Adventure Rental” in Jackson Hole. The rental store has different kinds of ATV and motorcycles for renting. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Because the ATV’s were all open vehicles, they provide helmets and goggles for safety … Continue reading Adventure in Wyoming

I saw Kootenai at the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center outside the west gate of the Yellowstone National Park at the end of September. He is a handsome grey wolf (I feel actually he looks like a white wolf). He stayed alone, because he had recently lost his long-time pack mate and sibling. The center allowed him to adjust and reach his own understanding of … Continue reading Wolf Story: Kootenai

We liked staying the … Continue reading The Grand Teton National Park

In the Avenue of Flags, Mount Rushmore in the background, the 56 flags represent the … Continue reading South Dakota

We have been to Yellowstone National Park twice. One time several summers ago and recently was September of this year. I throughly enjoyed the fall season of Yellowstone.

There were still many … Continue reading Yellowstone in the Fall Season
