Lyrik's Yellowstone

1/25/2015

0 Comments

 
Once a year on a very special day, we book a private charter snow coach for Lyrik's birthday.  For the past six years Alpen Guides out of West Yellowstone has been there to ensure Lyrik gets his trip into Yellowstone on his birthday (or near his birthday).  

       This year marked Lyrik's sixth annual trip into Yellowstone.  Wow!  Six years of traveling into Yellowstone for a birthday trip.  What a cool way to spend your birthday.  Of course this is how I feel about it.  So far Lyrik still loves his birthday trip into Yellowstone.  One day this may change, but for now we make the memory.  

       As you know from past post, I believe the investment in memories are more valuable than any toy ever made.  So instead of spending money on presents that will sit in the corner of the house after the first week, we make sure to build memories that will be mentioned for years to come. 

        This year was just a bit more special as we went with our new family; my wife her son, and her parents.  How special the day had become as we shared our tradition this year as a new family.  Many times, throughout the day, my eyes passed over my family with pride as the moments of the day brought on a smile originating deep from the heart.

       So with the family packed and ready to go we set out into Yellowstone on the morning of  January 24th to see plenty of wildlife, geysers, beautiful sites and even more smiles and laughter.  Lyrik is now seven years of age and he can now say he has been going into Yellowstone on his birthday even before he can remember.

       As we roll down the road in a very unique way we run into all kinds of friends, and for me many of my fellow co-workers.  People I have known for years; and people that have watched Lyrik grow up here in Yellowstone Country.  

    Yellowstone will always hold my heart and imagination.  It is a place of continued wonder for me.  I am blessed to be able to share this area with my family.

       At the end of the day, tired and sleepy boys smile with the memories they have created for the day here in Wonder Land.  Memories have been built, traditions have been held steadfast.  Memories and traditions more valuable than any plastic toy; and perhaps memories they will use to pass along to their own children one day, through their own family traditions.  Who knows how they will start their traditions when those days come, but I do know how proud of a day that will be.
