Yellowstone 08


In August, we decided that we hadn't taken a family vacation at all this whole summer because Bryan started working at UPS in the mornings, and can't get the time off. Before we went to Yellowstone, I went out and purchased a double stroller. One of those Sit n' Stand ones. I wasn't about to take kids and only hold hands. I felt much better about putting them in the stroller and buckeling them in. People always said it was a scary place to take kids. But, it was on my list of things to see in UT, ID, MT, etc. Yes, we made it to part of Montana. That is one more state I can chalk off my list to see. Nothing there really! Anyways, Yellowstone was absolutely amazing!!! We saw some of the coolest things.

Bryan took this one of the bears! Almost that close! He was crazy!!! The cars just stop to see anything off of the side of the road even if it is a bear! J/K. Anyways, we couldn't see why everyone was stopped, but Bryan told me to get the camera and go take a picture. I got about 75 or 100 feet from the crowd, and someone said there were bears. I was out of there. I took a quick picture and ran. I didn't want to get eaten!!! Anyways, I got back to the car and Bryan asked. I told him and he looked at the picture I took. He yelled and said that you can't even see them. They just look like part of the bushes. So he got out of the car and went to take a bunch of pictures. A little crazy!


We got over to see Old Faithful too! We waited to see it, out in the HOT SUN! Taylor kept saying he couldn't see anything, until it went off. Then he said that was cool, can we leave now? You know it lasts about 10 minutes. I thought it was going to be a quick spray and we had to take the picture quickly. We go to stay in a really cool, rustic cabin that was made out of logs. It had 2 double beds and a bathroom in it. We took coolers to keep all our food cool, and then we went out to dinner. In fact, we went out to Italian for Bryan's Birthday Dinner.

We had a really great time! I don't think we'll be doing it again soon, but we had fun.
