Yellowstone

We went to Yellowtone last weekend with our good friends, the Baileys. We had so much fun staying up late cooking dutch oven dinners, crying over the dutch oven breakfast that went bad (mostly Derek and me because we were the ones who made it), chasing the kids around, seeing all the awesome Yellowstone sights, Cleaning pee out of pajamas and sleeping bags, Sitting by the fire and laughing so hard, and seeing absolutely no wildlife! Okay, we did see buffalo. Whoopee!

Oh, actually, we did see a buck and here is the picture I got of it. Can't you see it? You must not have good eyes then!



Derek and me by the Paint Pots. We had never seen these and this is now one of our favorite places! The picture doesn't show how beautiful it really is.


Me and Bria playing in the river



Derek with Tyler and Bria. I don't know how Derek did it, but he usually was carrying at least one child.

This picture is for you Kali!



Too bad we went the day before President Obama! We heard he was in Yellowstone the day we were leaving. We saw this picture on the internet when we got home.

You saw a WOLF!!!! You are SO lucky! That is definitely NOT a coyote! I know a wolf when I see one! Thanks for the good laugh! It was fun seeing the pics and it brought back a lot of memories. Mainly of all the cool pictures I COULD have had if my camera hadn't gotten stolen! Glad you guys had fun!

We totally had fun!! I forgot all the funny stuff too, like the pee and the crying over breakfast!! So much fun we should make it a tradition!

I LOVE Yellowstone! We saw wolves too when we went. It was so awesome. No bear, though. That is what I want to see next time we go. Glad you had a good, fun trip. The pictures you posted are great; it's so beautiful there.

Loooove Yellowstone. I grew up spending summers in West Yellowstone. I should have hooked you up with all of the little insidey thingies! Looks like you had a great time. PS. Yes, I still lurk a bit. Congrats on Derek's new calling. :-)
