Yellowstone National Park

Well, we took a family trip.
It started out as a small trip to Rexburg, but it turned into a fun filled weekend of car travel, wildlife and nature viewing, and lots and lots of car sweets!
Yellowstone National Park
This was the 1st bison we saw, only a few minutes into the park. We ended up seeing 1/2 dozen or so individual fellers, and probably 3 herds! Very cool! We stopped at Old Faithful for a picnic and the view.

What a great time for a few fun pictures!

As Old Faithful blew, the girls, with Annabelle, all stood together, arms around each other! Priceless!

I was thinking, maybe I should send this shot to Nextel, you know,
the "more bars, more places"
add.

Old Faithful Lodge, and Katie in her usual seat!

This particular bison was old, huge, and noisy! He was grunting up a storm.
The kids enjoyed listening and imitating him!

Some scenery, as a storm was coming in.

After we left the park, on our way to Cody, WY. This view was worth stopping for!

The Wild Bill Cody Museum.
I love Daddy-Daughter poses.

Sharp shooters, Who Wants to be Annie Oakley?!



We were too cheap to actually put tokens in the game,
so they all did their best gun noises they could!

Those green dots we all have on were our passes.
As we left Yellowstone Park, on our way back from Cody, we stopped to get our picture taken, thanks to a nice family, who also needed their picture taken, we were able to get us all!


Craters of the Moon


On the top of a big hill, the wind was so strong,
we HAD to hold Katie, or she would've blown away!
NO KIDDIN'
In a cave!


I am so proud of my family! The girls all showed they are like the momma,
ADVENTUROUS!
They made me proud!

Even my little, self-labeled, "Scaredy-Cat" !
We had a great time!
