| Here we are upon arrival at the North entrance's historic arch. They all look so clean . |
 |
| This is the top of the upper falls. |
 |
| The grand canyon of the Yellowstone never ceases to impress me. |
 |
| Speaking of being impressed, the kids weren't impressed with the smells of Yellowstone. |
 |
| Morning glory pool, which I remember as being a little more glorious. They say that people throwing things in has ruined it. |
 |
| What an amazing view along the North east drive. Forrest as far as you could see. |
 |
We spent a couple of days in Jackson Hole and the Tetons.
This is us getting ready for an alpine slide ride. |
 |
| Rylee getting ready for her ride. |
 |
| Ethan thought it was amazing. |
 |
| Rylee and I coming in for a landing. She thought it was great. |
 |
| Alyson, slow and cautious on her first run, went like a bullet on the second round. |
 |
| Here's Logan and I on our second run. I let Logan man the brake. If I look scared, it's because I am. |
 |
| After the slide we did a round of mini-golf. |
 |
| Rylee loved running on the hill. |
 |
| The Tetons at sunset. Beautiful. |
 |
| The kids playing at Jenny Lake. |
 |
| If you can find it, this is the first bear I've ever seen in Yellowstone. |
 |
| Here is the 2nd bear we saw right outside of Yellowstsone. He was sitting on the side of the road eating some roadkill. |
Our trip was lots of fun. We saw more wildlife in Yellowstone this time than we ever have. We saw the usual elk and bison, but we also saw a wolf, moose, pelican, and our two bears. We also heard a pack of coyotes making a big ruckus about something.
We also played the license plate game, we tried to find all fifty. We found everything but Delaware. That would've made the trip really complete. Ethan says that if Delaware is not going to visit us, then we shouldn't be visiting them. Amen, Ethan, amen. :)
We came home to find that the neighbor kid had destroyed our swing set and flooded our basement by leaving the hose on. It is a big mildew-y moldy mess. Not a great way to come home. I am debating whether to tell this kids' parents about what happened. It made me want to turn around and go straight back to Yellowstone.
That looks like an awesome trip. Sorry about your house and swingset!
ReplyDeleteYour trip looked so fun! And those children are just the cutest. Wish we could have been with you. Not sure what to tell you about the carpet but I googled "cleaning mildew carpet" and there were lots of sites to go to. Give that a try.
ReplyDeleteAh Yellowstone. There is no place like it on earth and every time you visit you see something new. You're so lucky to see the bears. Been a long time since we've seen any bears. I remember many trips taking three little kids to Yellowstone and loving it. When our carpet got wet they advised us not to pull it up but to dry it out just as quickly as possible. I don't know how that would work for you as the damage was done before you got home. See what the google sites have to say. That William is a real pistol. What happened with your swing?
