Yellowstone

Happy 3rd Anniversary in Yellowstone! The "traditional" gift for this anniversary is leather...so Yellowstone works, right :). We sure had an adventure. Jane threw up on he way there and was pretty much sick the whole time, poor girl. It made for a long night at the hotel, as she would not sleep in her crib but had to be with us and that meant for a sleepless night for all. But she really was a trooper for all the car rides and not being home.
My favorite part of the two days was SWIMMING!!! I have been wanting to go swimming forever! And it was a blast to see how much Jane enjoyed the water to. She loved her floaty and kicking her feet in the water. It was so relaxing to finally be in water again. I loved every second!


We saw lots of buffalo and an elk and got to enjoy the main beautiful sites of Old Faithful, the Grand Prismatic, and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Lots of sites and areas were closed since we were there on opening day, so we'll have to visit again sometime to discover more.


Breakfast was at the Running Bear, super old cafe feel and yum yum food for these 3 Little Bears. Except that poor sick Jane wouldn't eat a bite.
In West Yellowstone there is a really neat Bear and Wolf area where you can be close and learn about them. We really enjoyed it!! It was so neat to see the Bears wrestle with each other and the wolves tracking for their food. It was definitely worth stopping in!

Absolute FAVORITE sign in the park!!!! Watch out for exploding grounds! We really enjoyed the board walks and the great stinky mists of the pits (well not me as much, eeeewy sulfur). Jane will blow on things that are hot and so when I told her the cloud puffs were hot the blowing began :). So funny and cute! The colors are incredible!




Quite the fun filled two days. But we were all pretty capooped after, Janes face here really sums it up. We met Paige in Ashton at Big Juds to eat dinner and then James was awesome and tried to help her change out the old rusted sink in their kitchen. It was a beast! We all sacked it when we stepped into home!


We'll be back Yelowstone!!!!!
