Yellowstone

Way back in July, we took a family trip to Yellowstone (6 months later,.  We met up with all of Nate's family there and camped for a week.  We had so much fun and saw gorgeous sights.  We also saw a lot of wildlife...

 and wildflowers.  What we didn't realize was that technically the wildflowers are the park's property and so we were written up by the "authorities" for picking this pretty bouquet.  She's a cute felon though, isn't she?

 Some extended family shots around the park.

Isn't this gorgeous?  This was after a fire a few years ago, but it's so neat to see the life budding once again.

Here's a typical scene around camp each morning.  We had to have our planning meeting.

 Monkeys!

Bears!

 Bathing beauties! :)  (it was stinkin' cold)

 Coyotes!

Getting a steam facial at Dragon's Mouth

Here are the thieves caught in the act :)

Colors are so vibrant

We became quite close with the bison that week.  We still write :)

Waiting for the "Old faithful"

 Love this picture of the triplets :)

All our adventures definitely tuckered everyone out, but we made wonderful memories!
