My Emma's Four!

Emma's 4 today! October 13th! What a special little girl Emma is. We are so blessed to have her in our lives! Emma is such a little drama queen...I love it!

She is a great big sister! She always is looking out for Nora.

So silly!

She loves her Daddy!

She loves helping me with anything I'm doing. She is going to be a great help and blessing to me the rest of my life, I can already tell.

She is a great performer.

You are very very loved Emma! Happy Birthday!

Elk video

This is the Bull Elk that scared us out of our minds.

We finished off the Yellowstone trip at mammoth hot springs. We enjoyed the drive but I think the girls just enjoyed watching movies...

Mammoth hot springs was fun as usual with lots of interesting springs.

We then saw a bull elk move his ladies around the hotel below the hot springs.

It was pretty crazy and the elk ended up right in front of our van! We were worried he was going to charge the van and scratch up the hood.

Yellowstone part 1

On the way home we drove through Yellowstone National Park. It was a little overcast and rainy at times, but it was absolutely beautiful. The colors were perfect and the animals were out in full force. We took the west entrance and then made our first stop at the midway geyser basin. The colder temperature really made the steam show.

We attempted to see the Grand Prismatic Spring, but we got fogged out pretty bad. It was still beautiful though!

We then drove down to the lower geyser basin and checked out the brand new visitor center at Old Faithful.

We then took the long drive up to the Lamar Valley area of Yellowstone to check out the buffalo.

They did not dissapoint!

Here we are on the rides at BearWorld

L.O.V.E these pictures of Richard on this ride!

On the little roller coaster that had a little bit of an unexpected kick to it.

Saying good bye to the baby bears.

My cousin Kylie! She did a post also on her blog of our trip to BearWorld. I know she will always remember and treasure the time we had here. Right Kylie?....Kylie?

After dinner and ice cream we went to the temple to walk around. Here are a couple pictures.
