Brownings Drive-in @ Flaming Gorge

Last weekend I went with my Mom and Grandma up to Flaming Gorge to visit my Aunt& Uncle who recently opened a restaurant and motel in Manilla. Even though it is winter and not much is going on at the lake they have been doing really well just feeding the locals and the fishermen/hunters that come through. There was a big fishing tournament up there last weekend so they were providing food at the concessions stands at the fair grounds and they were feeding all those hungry fishermen at the restaurant. They had their biggest Saturday ever and my cousin and I did a lot of the waitressing. It was fun and exhausting.

So if you are planning a trip to Flaming Gorge this summer and want to eat at a really yummy family oriented restaraunt, check out the Browning's Drive-in in town. Their food is really good. There is also a motel with about 12 rooms if you don't like camping.

We took a break from working and went to the park for a little while. The kids did so good just playing, while I was working and neglecting them most of the weekend. :) I'm so glad they are old enough to entertain themselves!
On our way up to Manilla just before Evanston we saw this Moose just on the side of the freeway, so we pulled over and watched it for a minute.

Then we looks over just about 20 feet to the left and there was this herd of Elk just standing there. We hadn't even noticed they were there at first.
