West Yellowstone

We spent two days exploring Yellowstone National Park with Nate's family. It was tons of fun, and tons of driving. We took our van and had a variety of people riding with us all the time. Each car had at least one 4-way radio for communicating back and forth. It made it fun to communicate with everybody in the different cars, and it helped pass the time when we got stuck in traffic for construction.

All the kids got Yellowstone shirts. I found a great deal on matching shirts for all the girls. It definitely made keeping track of our group much easier.

I tried to get the girls to smile, and they tried their best, but the stink of the spring made it difficult.
Mammoth Springs-very cool.

A bear! We got to see a bear! It was very cool-other than the stupid people who seem to think it's a teddy bear to chase into the forest and not a dangerous animal.

Fun! We are heading up to Island Park on Wednesday to spend with Phill's family and will be spending a couple of days in Yellowstone too! Your pictures made me even more excited to go!
