“We like living in Laramie because of all of the opportunities here. The University of Wyoming offers many cultural events and we are big sports fans so we love to attend the Cowboys and the Cowgirls games. The schools are excellent and our kids have had very good experiences from grade school through high school. The opportunity for outdoor recreation is excellent — we enjoy fishing, hiking, camping and hunting. There are also great opportunities for downhill and cross country skiing in the winter and mountain biking in the summer.
