YELLOWSTONE PARK; June 9-10
For our family vacation this year we decided to go to Yellowstone Park. We visited Yellowstone last year; however, we felt like we needed to see more of the beautiful sights. We were not disappointed. The majesty of God's creation is astounding. There is something about being close to nature that brings my heart closer to God, and my family. Our trip will never be forgotten by myself or the rest of my family. We had so much fun exploring, laughing, and simply enjoying God's creations.

GEYSERS AT OLD FAITHFUL:





Yellowstone Waterfalls:

 
Jake absolutely loved the waterfalls. Everytime we saw a waterfall, he danced and yelled with pure delight. We tried to capture his reaction on camera, but we were always a bit too late.

 Yellowstone PLAYMILL:
At the end of our first day, we enjoyed  HIGH SCHOOL Musical at the West Yellowstone Playmill. It was absolutely fantastic! All three of my children were captivated by the performance! Hailey was even more thrilled by the entire night, because the singers/actors sang her "Happy Birthday" (...or at least she enjoyed embarrassment...)!

DAY 2; YELLOWSTONE
A dear friend told me that if we drove through Lamar Valley we would see more exotic wildlife (i.e. bears, wolves, etc...). Although the drive was longer, we decided to heed the advice. We were not disappointed! By the end of the day we saw: 7 bears (two of the seven were cubs), 1 wolf, and many, many buffalo. I have never seen bears before in Yellowstone (I grew up coming to Yellowstone every summer), so it was a neat experience to see so many.
