Yellowstone Vacation

Okie dokie! Finally blogging our trip! We had a great trip at while ago..... the end of summer yes I know I am getting pretty pathetic with my blogging, but here is something new! We had a wonderful trip to Yellow Stone with our family and Grandma & Grandpa Minnoch.

Everyone had a chance getting sick on the trip. Thank goodness it was just a fever and it only lasted about a day, but all the kids took turns getting a little sick. Jacey was so tired she layed on the table and she was out! Jaden was the first to get sick on the day we left. He was just tired and had a fever.




We stopped at a huge waterfall that was just loud and flowing so fast. You could feel the spray from where we were standing. It was gorgeous! The boys are cute too!



Kamryn was a handful keeping track of her, but everyone had a great time.




Jacey had a great time too.





The picture just doesn't do justice! I was such a powerful waterfall. It was amazing to see the speed that the water flowed at!








Gorgeous! We can't wait to go again! We absolutely loved our whole trip!



Here is some of the wildlife that we saw:

Here is a bald eagle in a nest just off the side of the road.




We drove and drove and we finally saw the buffalo. The first one we saw was in the road right next to the cars. I tried to get a close up, but the park ranger was yelling for everyone to keep moving because of course there was a huge traffic jam of people just watching the buffalo. Like they have never seen a buffalo before or something.




Here is a better picture..





We were very close to this puppy! I mean wolf!!










We just happened to walk up to this bear! Then we walked away.






Oh! This bear was just too close for comfort.... no that is not a safety fence..
Okay, we only saw the bear and wolf at the wildlife reserve. But, we did see the rearend of a moose not really picture worthy.











All tired out and they needed a rest.




Here is the wildlife reserve. It was pretty cool.







It was a neat thing going to 'Old Faithful' , stinky but neat.























Nice pose!


















What is that stuff, you got me?






















Just letting off some steam!









Getting a little tired.




We stopped for icecream and souveneirs.



Well, most of us had our icecream. She is getting better with her icecream cones though. We practice quite a bit.






We had so much fun on our vacation!





Soooooo Blue. Sooooooooooo pretty! Soooooooooooo Stinky!


Here is yellow stone lake. The sand was dark gray and black. It was cool.





Hi Grandma and Grandpa!



It was a beautiful day and we had fun playing in the water.




































Oh yeah, a little out of order. Here is Old Faithful shooting geyser!


















Here is Jacey playing at the lake! What a sweetie!









Kamryn loved it!

































The air was a little cool, but the black sand was warm.






We soooo enjoyed our trip and we had fun staying in a condo. The little town was great. We will never forget this trip! Can't wait to go again!
