So, We finally went somewhere!!! Yeah! Greg has a job in West yellowstone, and had a free hotel room, and Last weekend we could get into the park for free.....So we loaded the kids in the van (yes, we have a van now....) and headed out.... Funny thing, the van is segregated. The boys have to be on the drivers side, and the girls on the passenger side.
Straton traveled very well!~Thank You!
The kids loved the hotel....we didn't even go swimming, I guess cable TV is entertaining enough!
The first thing we saw when we entered the park was a Black Bear! Look closely, it is under the pine tree on the right! We got to watch it walk all the way up and over the hill, it was just moseying along! Guess when you visit Yellowstone a telephoto lens comes in handy...
Then we saw some Elk...
Oh, Look!, Kids! Aren't Kids Lovely! Such a rare find, especially looking like they love each other and are having fun!
"Hey Mom, can we go down to the river?"
Moving on....We headed to, You guessed it, Old Faithful!
Along the way we saw some buffalo (Bison if you are politically correct)
The beginning of the show, above, and the grand finale! It was 130 feet high, and lasted a couple of minutes! ( I know because I was nursing in the visitor center while the show was going on, so I bugged the ranger and got all sorts of good info.) Olivia is photographer here! It is so nice to hand the job over....Didn't she do a good job!
The kids waiting for the show to start, woops out of order....oh well.
Brooklyn being her own person, standing alone, tired of everyone else....Or just being 2 and saying...."I can do this myself"
Some thermal feature along the way home. Olivia was photographer again....guess where I was....Yep, Nursing In the van! Vacations are so much fun!
Pretty....
Stinky, at least the wind was blowing away from them, (According to Greg)
Mars...
Olivia is such a good Photographer!The End
