YELLOWSTONE

I'm slowly catching up on the summer. I'm only a month behind.

Last week we went up to Yellowstone with Lance's whole family! Tai went up last year with Grandma and Grandpa so he was a pro at what to look for. He is the only one that saw a bear with Grandpa. :) Parker was so sure that a Bear was going to get him. He warmed up real fast and had a ball!!



First stop was old Faithful. Not as faithful as it used to be. :) But still entertaining!





Went on a few "hikes." This was to a geyser that burped sulphur over and over. Quite awesome to children!





Hike to a beautiful Waterfall!


Parker looks thrilled to be walking again doesnt he?





A few of the Munchkins!






Our family by the 100ft waterfall. So beautiful!





We ran into Construction driving in the park and would have to sit and wait for 30 min. So the kids decided to hang out the window and wave at everyone. Every single car that passed would wave or honk at them. They thought it was the funniest thing ever.




More Hikes and Waterfalls



300ft falls



Lots of "Fuffallo" in Yellowstone



Highlights:

Oohs and ahhs over old faithful.
Excitement over the millionth buffalo we saw.
Seeing an eagle swoop into the water and catch a fish.
Wolves howling early in the morning.
Tai's bear he saw.
The funny burping sulpher.
Our friend Hammy the squirrel at lunchtime.
Eagles nest with babies in it.
Spending $4 for blasted 4 piece chicken nuggets.
Skipping Rocks
Parker and Kenzie FINALLY enjoying swimming.
Cute Lily in the mornings.
Katie spraying Bug Spray on the kids.
Lance turning what he thought was the AC on in the middle of the night but was really the heater.
Charlie planning every minute inside the Park so we got to see a ton. He is the Best!!
Mom near tears on the way home cause it was so miserable. Two year old strapped in a car seat for 6 hours=misery.
