Family Trip to Yellowstone




I have not been to Yellowstone since I was like 5 and Trevor had never been, so we decided we wanted to check it out. We took our camper that we bought this year up and camped for two nights and explored the park. We had so much fun, and Keyton was sooo good. He loved getting to see all the animals and pretending to shoot them. He really loved the mud pots because his new favorite movie is Ice Age and Sid sits in a mud pot. I loved it too. I was just as bad as the tourists jumping out of the car before it was stopped to get a picture. It's just soo exciting when you actually see an animal. Our second day there, Trevor's sister Chantel and her roommate Michelle met us at Old Faithful and went the rest of the way with us. It was fun, and I think we will have to make a annual trip out of it. We should feel so lucky to have such a beautiful place so close to us.

I haven't been to Yellowstone since like my Freshman year! But I can't believe Trevor has never been! Looks like you had so much fun. A grizzly? That is so cool. Keyton is too funny. I like the muscles pose. You look great Dayna.

Do you know how many times I've been to Yellowstone and never seen a bear!?! The only place I've seen a bear is the zoo and bear world. I was looking at Lacee's blog and they saw one too! Oh well, I'm glad you guys had fun. Yellowstone is pretty darn cool. Last time we went Tyler really loved taking pictures, especially of the hot pots. He's a photo freak, so I have to be patient while he takes a million pictures.

Now you know why Nic and I try to go every year! I love the park! One year we fished just outside the park it was a lot of fun! Colby was fishing and bugling to the elk! We should try to go together one year! I bet Keyton was a lot of fun to watch! Love you!
