Yellowstone




We were so excited to go to Yellowstone with Jarom's family. It was fun driving and using the two way radios to talk with each other. Jarom & Jason had lots of memories of going to Yellowstone growing up and they had lots of memories to share with us on what they remember as kids. The kids were great all the driving and stopping and getting out and walking and no naps some days. This will definitely be a trip the kids remember and the fun it was spending with their cousins. We toured the whole park with a great tour guide, my one and only hubby!! We started at the South entrance and West Thumb and then the next day we toured Fishing Bridge and then up to Canyon and all the waterfalls, they were my favorite. We did the uncle Toms Trail and walked down and then back up the 328 stairway. It felt great to accomplish that many stairs and what a beautiful view it was. We took the Tower/Mammoth loop and hit the petrified tree & Norris geyser basin and I had to stop to take a girls picture in the wild flowers (look for the picture on the slideshow) I think that was my favorite loop by Tower. The next day we hit all the other mud pots and geyser basins and ended with Old Faithful. We ate ice cream on the deck of the Old Faithful Inn while we watched Old Faithful Errupt it was awesome.
On the way home we stopped at Jackson Hole and ate and wondered around the fun shops. We even saw a buffalo, bear, & Bigfoot. Look at the pictures and you will see the kids so close to the animals. Good thing they were stuffed.
Thanks for inviting us to tag along with your family Jarom & Rochelle we love you guys!!
