Yellowstone

Teton National Park

Our First Day in Yellowstone

Approaching Jackson, Wyoming

The views were breathtaking


Ice cream in Farson, Wyoming

Everyone was taking pictures by the antler arch in Jackson, we we did too. My husband was far too amazed with all the antlers.


Guess what the kids enjoyed the most during the whole trip? Yes, every hotel had a swimming pool. Next year, were skipping the long drive and vacationing at a water park.


Brayden and Stephanie were amazed with the geysers.

Old Faithful is beautiful. But I could tell the kids were thinking "that's all it does?!"


The waterfalls were incredible, the Brayden drama.....not so much.

This arch is by the town of Gardiner, MT. We stayed there our 3rd night.

We saw this bear and then another one with cubs. The park rangers made us keep driving though so the photos turned out badly.

This coyote had his eye on some prairie dogs.

This is by Yellowstone Lake...which is huge.

This geyeser is part of Mammoth Springs.

The buffalo were adorable.


We spent the last five days in Yellowstone National Park with our very good friends and neighbors, the McConkies. Our children loved having their best friends on vacation with them. They had fun switching places in vehicles, swimming, picnicking, hiking and souvenir shopping along with them.

We loved finding waterfalls, geysers, buffalo, bears, elk and coyotes. The quaint, little tourist towns we stayed in were charming and expensive. But the memories are priceless.

Your vacation sounds wonderful. Its funny though how kids just enjoy being in the pool more than anywhere you could take them.

I can't think of anything that sounds funner than a week at Yellowstone with the kids and good friends. Priceless Memories!
