Yellowstone Vacation!

They had the prettiest blue birds.

We just got back from our vacation to Yelloswtone. It was so much fun! We took our nephew Ethan, who is 12, and our neice Miranda, who is 16 as well. It was nice to have them along to play with Britton and keep an eye on Benjamin. We went to Yellostone twice, stayed the night in Jackson, Wy., went to Montana to see Quake Lake and Virginia City, and hung out at Dustin's Uncle's cabin in Island Park. It was just what we all needed.

In Yellowstone we saw a lot of fun animals, big and small. We got to see a lot of Bison and Elk. We also saw a fox. In Jackson we saw a baby moose and it's mom! We were WAY too close to it. There was nowhere to go so we were just as respectful as we could be! Benjamin rode in the pack through Yellowstone to keep him safe and he seemed pretty happy with the whole thing. He kept saying "water, hot!" and "Pee-Yew! Stinky!" That about summed up the sulpher pots!We had a lot of fun in Jackson too. We went on the alpine slide, miniature golfed, and did this super trampoline thing. Britton was really brave and did all of it.

Dustin's uncle brought his boat up on Thursday and we all got to go out tubing. Britton didn't like it much but the rest of us had a great time! We did some fishing too but we weren't very successful. I caught one small fish and that was it for all of us. The scenery was beuatiful and it was very relaxing. It was good to spend time together as a family and have fun!
