As most of you know, we took a trip to Yellowstone National Park last week. Jim was awarded this trip through Edward Jones from all of his hard work. They take care of everything which is so nice. We flew in last Sunday and enjoyed 6 nights and 7 days there and had such a great time. We stayed in Big Sky, Montana which was about an hour drive into Yellowstone. We spent 3 days visiting Yellowstone and the other days at our resort. We saw a lot of wildlife including lots of buffalo, elk, a bald eagle, wild wolves, and even moose. We didn't see a bear which was our goal but maybe next time. One of the days at the resort I went to the spa in the morning and Jim went white water rafting in the afternoon which was great for both of us. The boys were great and Jacob just loved seeing the Old Faithful geyser and they both loved seeing all the animals. We even had a little check list of things for Jacob to look for and he found them all. We had a tough time getting home but finally made it after 2 cancelled flights on Delta...they then reaccommodated us on American with a 2 hour flight delay...but we finally got home at midnight on Sunday! What an ending to our vacation!! Other than that, we couldn't complain about anything. Jim said this trip fulfilled one of his dreams of taking us all to Yellowstone, he loves the mountains! Here are just a few pictures from the trip (out of the 256 we took)!

Katherine, your pics are great! Yellowstone sounds like such a fun destination for families. I love the idea of Jacob's checklist, and how fun that he found all the animals! Jacob and Luke are such big boys and from the pictures it looks like they had a blast!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time! The pics are just beautiful! What a sweet family you are - I miss you all SO much!

Looks like you guys had nice weather. Your accomodations are a little better than ours were in Colorado! Haha!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a FANTASTIC vacation. The pictures are beautiful, so I can only imagine what it must have looked like in person. The boys looked like they had a great time, and I LOVE the idea of the checklist of things for Jacob to look for. I'm tucking that idea away for when Alex gets a little bigger. =) XOXO
ReplyDeleteI STILL have Old Faithful on my list! LOL! So happy that you guys had a great vacation... there is nothing like the memories to share for a lifetime!!
