Yellowstone

We went to Yellowstone for our 2013 family vacation. Following are highlights of our trip!

 Bison were plentiful on this trip.

We even had one camp next to our tent one night!

This one was right out our car window as you can see

 Stinky sulfur, but so cool

 The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone!

The top of the waterfall in the photo above.

An amazing winding hike descending a steep

300 ft. down the mountain.

So worth the hike!

Keplar Falls

The first live lily pond I have seen.

It was so pretty!

Mammoth Terraces

 The view from our campsite!

 Grand Teton National Park

 Mesa Falls. See the black dot on the right,
top of the falls?

One of three crazy kayakers we watched go

safely down the falls!

 Mud Pots! Boiling hot, like a witches brew!

 Idaho Falls and Temple. So pretty and a perfect 

4 mile running trail.

The kiddos and some gorgeous country!

Farm Camp

Bradyn attended farm camp at Western Legacy Ranch

He LOVED it! In his words

"Kathie was the best farm camp teacher ever!"

Getting Big!

 My friend sells these cool totes and Spencer fits in it!

 

Bradyn calls this the Superman! 

It does kind of look like he is trying to fly.

 

Spencer is working on the basics of crawling.

He has the position down.

Now he just needs to move.

I am good if he takes a couple more months to figure that part out!
