Yellowstone

Well, we're back. We flew in last night and are slowly getting used to the time change again and getting caught up on sleep. We realized last night that in the last month we have been on 10 flights!! Busy month for us. :)
The trip was amazing and we miss being there. The girls had a blast catching up with their cousins and were "go-go-go" the entire trip (well, except for the car where they would both promptly fall asleep!). Yellowstone was amazing (as you can see from the pictures below) and we had so much fun staying up way too late and playing games with everybody. Once we got to the Old Faithful cabins we spent the late hours in the lodge playing "bang". So much fun and so much to see. We loved being at G'ma and G'pa's 50th Anniversary party. Congrats again guys! The 4th rounded things up for us with some more game playing, fireworks in the street, gorgeous fireworks in the air, and good 'ol watermelon. We really miss you guys and my girls are missing their cousins. Thanks again for the trip and the housing and food! We need to do it again soon!


The dragon's breath or mouth -one of my favorite's


Of course we saw buffalo...pretty close in fact. This one was right outside our car.


We got to wait while the buffalo sat in the middle of the road. I loved seeing all the babies--so sweet!


Craig and I forgot the name of the waterfalls that these stairs go to, so we'll just call them the steep stairs of doom. For those who do not like heights or a lot of stairs--BEWARE!


Another view of the steep stairs!


The waterfall was definetely worth the workout....Absolutely breath-taking!


A shot of the group picnicking after the stair workout.


Grace and Annie playing ponies


Abby loves rocks and was picking up rocks and throwing them everywhere we went. She thought she'd give this one a try....


Grace sleeping mid-coloring. The girls seriously were asleep as soon as we hit the road.

Anemone- Craig and I's favorite


Morning Glory pool- Don't you want to just jump on in??

Castle--We waited over an hour for this one and poor Craig missed it because Grace had to go potty...What a good Daddy!


Abby taking pictures with her little toy camera...


4th of July- Abby decided to eat a frosting cone instead of an ice cream cone at G'ma and G'pa's party.

That looked like a blast. It was so good to see you, too. The girls have grown so much.
We miss you already.

I remember those stairs of doom. I think they lead to the Lower Falls. Gorgeous view...jello-y legs!
