Yellowstone

We took 4 days off and headed for Yellowstone. There wasn't much relaxing going on, as we packed our days with animal watching, shopping, sight seeing, hiking/walking, bike riding, ice cream, and lots of driving. Jay has Earned the nickname "Bear" He didn't appreciate Yellowstone as much as the rest of us. My mom will be making him a shirt that says
"I put the YELL in Yellowstone" All in All He did well. We can't complain too much.

This picture is at the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.
Jappy put up his hammock. The Kids enjoyed it

Nana and Papa dressed for fishing. They didn't bring back any fish. So Sad.
Our BIG BOY. He loved playing in the DIRT, Finding ROCKS to put in his mouth, and picking up STICKS.

The girls took part in the Jr. Ranger program. They had to visit a certain amount of sights and fill out a packet of activities. They did a ceremony honoring their achievement. They loved the attention.

Enjoying Old Faithful with Nana and Papa


Looking at the elk.
Brooklyn enjoying the Smells of Yellowstone.

The girls LOVED having Nana and Papa there. They loved having an audience to sing and dance for. They surely did A LOT of that.
We saw LOTS of Buffalo, elk, eagles. and a Big fish in the river. We visited Old Faithful 3 times, along with many other Geysers, and Hot Poole's. The girls did NOT appreciate the sulfur experience of Yellowstone. It made us laugh every time they plugged their noses. We had a great time and plan on returning. (When Jay's a little bit older)

So much fun! Too funny about the nose plugging. :) I know I've been to yellowstone (I have pictures), but I was quite young. That will be a trip we'll have to take when we get back out West. Too fun that your parents were able to be there too! Jay sounds a lot like Beckett on our family 4th of July raft trip. Not exactly the best age for camping. :)
