My family goes to Yellowstone every other year. I love going. I love almost everything about Yellowstone, the animals, the geological features, staying in the cabins, and of course watching my kids have a good time. Here are a few of the highlights of our trip.
As many of you know, Jason has been having a hard time walking for about 3 years. While super annoying to him, it also has been hard on the kids. Most notably Alice. We pulled up to our first hike, the Norris Paint Pots and Alice proceeded to cry for about 20 minutes because she was too tired to walk. About the time she started being ok about walking (and after about 20 people on the trail tried to help us with her), Charlie ripped off his shoes and threw them into the hot springs. I was able to grab one but the other shoe was no where to be seen. I was mortified, not that I had a horrible child, but because I was so afraid Charlie's shoe was going to ruin the hot springs. Kids.
Here is us at Lower Falls or maybe Upper Falls in the Canyon area of Yellowstone. My family usually stays in the cabins in this area as well. It is great because it is so central to our favorite things to visit.
Our trip was so fun, we saw the wolves, a fox, bison, elk, deer, pronghorn, black bears, baby black bears, birds and a ton of beautiful wildflowers. I would try to find more pictures but there are still so many to go through. Alice threw many more fits but she still managed to hike a few miles on her own. Charlie did not throw anything else into anywhere inappropriate. Daniel was awesome until our last two days and then was so tired he just cried. All in all, success of a trip.
Also we went on the Stagecoach ride which was pretty fun. It was a little shorter than I thought it would be but it is on the original road that the stagecoaches have always used. The kids thought it was fun and that was the best part.
