Yellowstone


Our second day of our vacation was spent in Yellowstone.
The above picture is the first geyser we saw!

Kaylin and Mommy at the Geysers. This was the last time she sat in her stroller without a complete FIT!!!


This is what happened when we tried to hold her so that she didn't get hurt! This crying was mild compared to the tantrum she threw if she was put in her stroller.

Emerson, on the other hand, enjoyed riding on her mom's shoulders.


Kaylin stood so still on this bench for her picture. She knew that if she didn't listen then she would be put in her stroller or carried so she behaved very well.

I absolutely love this picture of Kaylin holding Daddy's and Papa's hand! She soon figured out that if she would drag her feet they would toss her up (she loved the 123 game)

Kaylin and mommy sitting for their picture in front of another colorful geyser.

Look at all the steam!
After walking the entire time who wouldn't be tired and fall asleep while drinking her juice!

Kaylin and Mommy waiting for "Old Faithful"


"Old Faithful" is still faithful and made it's debut 3 mintues after they expected!

Me at Old Faithful towards the end of the show!!
Pretty waterfalls

Kaylin looking at the waterfalls with Mommy...
...and Papa

I love this view of the waterfall. We were able to get up close and get GREAT pictures!

Other kids were climbing on the rocks so Kaylin thought that she needed to!
Luckily she just wanted to sit!



Our hike out of the Waterfall observation area there was this little bench area and so we took the opportunity to get a picture of all 3 girls, Addison~Emerson~Kaylin

We saw another Elk in Yellowstone, along with a LOT of Buffalo!!!


Getting out of Yellowstone and finding a place to eat for the girls was quite a challenge. At a gas station/small grocery store in Island Park we were able to buy a few things that were a healthier option to get them buy until we could find something to eat!


About 20 miles down the road, still in Island Park we found a nice place located right next to the Snake River, the sun was setting it was nearly 9pm and we still had a 2 hour drive ahead of us but we all needed dinner! The meal was GREAT and we made it home safely, but NONE of us ever care to drive on that 10% grade road again from Idaho down into Jackson!!!

3 Thoughts from Friends...:

So, this is random, but I was wondering and wondering if you made your own blog background, because it's from my kit, then I realized where it came from. rofl. The lady who is doing this hasn't been getting permission from us designers to create blog backgrounds with our kits. Interesting. rofl.

Anyway, your trip looked fun. We love Yellowstone! She is such a cutie. We need to get the girls together to play!

We went to Yellowstone a few years ago and loved it. Kaylin is so cute. I love her little grey sweater. And the last picture of the sunset is beautiful.
