Yellowstone

Jason goes back to school on the 30th of this month and then it's back to being a single mom so we decided we needed a quick trip as a family before the craziness begins again.  We decided we would go camping. Well last wednesday we started looking for places for that weekend but everything was full. Bear Lake, Jordanelle, Smith's Moorehouse.... everywhere! So we decided to try Yellowstone. I had promised Jason we would go this summer but we hadn't made it up yet so we thought why not. Well they were full to but happened to have one cabin for monday night and tuesday night and it just "happened" to be the week that Dr. Carroll was gone so I didn't have to work so we took it. Adi had been pretty sick so we weren't sure it was going to work out. We had taken her to the dr. just as she started getting sick on monday and by sat. we were worried we shouldn't go cause she was coughing lots and had fevers. We took her to the Dr. again Sat. and he said she should be on the tail end of it and that we didn't need to cancel our plans. So Saturday we got everything together and I swear EVERYTHING was going wrong! We really were to the point that even though we had boughten everything, which was a mess in and of itself, we shouldn't go. The car had broken down, we had just tons of stuff not falling into place.  Well we prayed about it and we both felt like we should go. Now that we are back, I really think it was Satan trying to keep us from going on a family vacation because it really renewed and further strengthened our marriage and family love as time together usually do! So Sunday we left to Idaho where we had dinner with Grandpa Woody, Michelle, Brian, Scott, Danny, Bobby, Laura and Ava. We also saw Norma in the hospital as she had just had her heart attack. Daniel and Ashley and Scott were also there. It was great to see everybody. We stayed with Grandpa that night and Monday morning we headed up to yellowstone. We stayed in the Canyon Village and drove a ton to see everything. It was such a fun trip. Then Wed. Morning we came back home down through the Grand Tetons and Jackson Hole.  Adi was such a trooper and traveled great! We mainly tried to drive as she was taking naps and it worked great! Here are our fun pictures!

Adi LOVED Grandpa Woody!! She would smile so big every time he talked to her!

HUGE Elk next to the road just hanging out!

Adi was sleeping in the car when we took this picture. 

Mr. Buffalo was a little scary! Thank goodness for a telephoto lens! He didn't look very happy!

A herd of pronghorn. The babies were so cute!

There were two cow Elk the next day about the same spot the big elk were the day before. The other was laying down so you can't see her in this picture. 

Sulfer pots.... they stunk! But were cool!
