Our vacation this year took us road tripping to Yellowstone National Park. We started out in the wee hours of the morning...
Had lots of this...
and this...
but not so much of this...
The kids did much better than we could have hoped during the drive, so we rewarded them (well, 2 of them!) with a trip down the alpine slide in Jackson Hole. Colby's a pro at these now, but it was Brogan's first time and he loved it!
Then we walked around downtown Jackson and tried to attend their nightly mock shoot-out show, but the boys were both near tears a couple minutes in. Not as tough as they seem apparently!
Let me help you get a drink buddy...just lean over a little closer...
Ahh, brotherly love at it's finest!
The cutest brewmaster ever!
Finally in Yellowstone! Enjoying the gorgeous hot spring "pools",
stinky mud pots,
and of course geysers!
We decided to walk up the path to Morning Glory pool...which I did a hundred times back when I worked there...but somehow forgot it's about 3 miles roundtrip. Cora didn't complain, but the other 4 weren't too happy with me. ;)
THIS is what we walked all that way to see??!
On the way back to our house in West Yellowstone we met up with some bison (and a wolf!). While we waited the 45 minutes for them to cross the road Steve got artistic and took this pic. He's very proud of it, so make sure you tell him how cool it is...
Ahh...home sweet home!
The beautiful canyon area...
Cousins...
We saw a bear too! (Okay, it was at the grizzly zoo in West, but the kids still thought it was cool...)
And of course, vacation wouldn't be complete with out ice cream. Every day!
Goodbye beautiful views! We'll miss you (though not your incredibly narrow, super steep mountain road!).
