Roadtrip!



My sister Steph invited me to go on a roadtrip with her and her boys to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone. We stayed in Jackson Hole the first night where Tanner was asked to be in the "Shootout" in the street. He was so cute and did a great job!We also found some pregnant art in Jackson so why not stop and imitate?
Tanner (9) and Carson (5) were mostly good boys with a few minor disagreements. Carson can be quite the little drama queen but it made for some good laughs. Steph has trained these boys well on how to smile for the camera. One second they would be screaming at each other and all you had to do was tell them you were gonna take a picture and on came those photogenic little smiles. Here they are at Jenny Lake right before our hike to Hidden Falls

Then we were off to Yellowstone!
We stayed at the famous Old Faithful Inn
Which just happens to be right across from Old Faithful
The geyser in the background is Beehive Geyser. We were lucky to see it go off because it is unpredictable and can go up to 5 days without doing anything.
The boys worked hard to earn their Jr. Ranger patches but we would have had to see every aspect of Yellowstone and we only had 2 days. But we still participated in in some fun Ranger chats and visited the Junior Ranger Station.

After dinner we decided to go see the waterfalls. It was getting dark, hence the dark photos, but they were beautiful none the less.


Our last night we stayed in the Lake Yellowstone Hotel. It was beautiful and our room looked out over Lake Yellowstone.

As you can see we took A TON of pictures and had A TON of fun! Thanks Taylor's I love you!

Looks like fun! I didn't see lake south, but Greg was over doing our pre-construction meeting and decided to check out your back yard. Sorry, my husband's a snoop! Anyway, you look so cute in these pics. Miss you

Steph's boys are getting so big! It seems like Tanner was just in his carrier at the Silver Stork! That's crazy! I'm glad you all had a good time! I miss you!

This is a very kind review, dear sister. You didn't even mention that Carson screamed " Everyone's being MEAN to ME!" the entire time or that we thought about tossing him over the "brink." LOL! Just Kidding. LInds, you are a trooper and a darn fine Young Scientist! Thanks for being so supportive and wandering around the park hot and starving the entire time. Next time I promise, we'll fill the cooler full of food instead of just drinks- We'll be prepared for the 40 miles in between restrooms and eating establishments and we'll get you your own bed so that you don't have to snuggle with Tanner. I love you for all that you do and it was so fun to be with you. Have fun in Montana! XOXOXO
