Yellowstone

Yellowstone was great!!! The kids and I planned on spending the time up with my dad, Vivi, Alicia, Mandy, Ryan and DJ. Dustin was not able to join us due to the fact that he said he had to work. He did work Friday night but as soon as he got off he stole my mom's car and drove all through the night to get to his family. He had Saturday and Sunday off so he was able to spend all day Saturday with us and left on Sunday around 2 to head home. It was such a nice surprise. I absolutely loved being able to spend time with him seeing the big Yellowstone sights, Old Faithful, Natural Bridge, Mineral Pools at West Thumb. I loved having him there. It was the best. Melanie was pretty convinced that she was never actually in Yellowstone because it wasn't yellow. She was also completely terrified of the buffalo. Michael was a little bike rider every where he went he tried to bring the bike. He wondered why the stink pots never turned off. Michael loved seeing all the animals. Zander loves being outside, so this trip was his favorite part of the last few weeks. Lots of outside time. He also enjoyed playing with the animals. To be more specific a chipmunk kept coming up and steeling his food while he was eating. He kept dropping bits and pieces of bread and he would watch that little chipmunk come in and steel it. He chased after it and it would run in circles around him and he would follow or try and follow it. I have never laughed so hard in my life. The trip was incredible. I loved seeing all the beautiful nature that God has created for us to enjoy.
