For Christmas last year, my parents paid for our whole family to stay in a cabin in Island park and go to Yellowstone. Our first stop was at Mesa Falls. (pictured above)
Sam had so much fun playing out in the yard one afternoon.
Once again practicing their guitar moves.
So here is our first day at Yellowstone. For some reason I have decided to include this very unflattering picture of myself. Sorry.
Lily and Griffin had fun finding the animals throughout the park that were listed on a sheet they gave us as we entered, which Lily is displaying here.
We spent plenty of time in the car.
This buffalo was really close to us.
This is Lily after she got scared of the buffalo, and then recovered.

Waiting for Old Faithful
Sam looked like a little chipmunk with his cheeks full of trail mix.
"Cool, Old Faithful!"
My parents rented a couple of rafts to ride down this river in. It was a lot of fun. The kids also enjoyed using their little nets to catch about a billion little bugs.
Any guesses what happened to Griffin seconds after Jake reminded me to put Griff's life jacket on? If you guessed header right into the river, you'd be right.
Poor kid was so traumatized. He kept apologizing over and over. I swear we don't beat him, but if you would have seen how he was apologizing you wouldn't believe it. I kept telling him, that falling in and getting wet fully clothed was punishment enough.
We had a really fun trip. It was fun to be with the whole family. Thanks Mom and Dad!
