Wyoming

Wyoming has spectacular wilderness and a Western flavor. Kids can wear cowboy hats, ride horses, go to a rodeo, and explore two great national parks, Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Traveling to Wyoming isn't just a summer activity; in winter, elk and bison graze in the snow and mountains resorts are ski heaven.

Fun food

     

Kids will want to try the buffalo (bison) and elk burgers, and indulge a sweet tooth with huckleberry milkshakes, ice cream and candy. Chuck wagon cookouts are also fun for everyone in the family, a western style dinner with barbeque ribs and chicken, beef stew and cowboy beans.

   

Shopping – Let everyone pick out a Western style hat in felt or straw, shirts or bandanas.

Maya spends the summer in Wyoming on her family's ranch, sleeping in a teepee, living around a campfire, riding horses every day, and finding companionship with a wild horse, running free and belonging only to the stars. Wonderful local color and a real appreciation of the wide open spaces. (Chapter book)

 

     
One Wolf Howls
Scotti Cohn, Susan Detwiler

“One wolf howls in the January moonlight, deep in the woods where the moon hangs high.” Gorgeous illustrations and lyrical verse, it’s a year in the life of gray wolves – playing in the snow, fuzzy pups in spring, napping in a summer meadow, hiding under autumn trees, plus fun facts about the wolf. This is a gem! (Picture book)
