Thanks to my parents, we had nice living quarters. I am a big tent camper, but with kids, I'd prefer a dry and warm place to sleep and a place to clean up dishes. This was more than we could have asked for. Good thing to, because it rained one night so much that our fire put and campsite were floating. We would have packed up and gone home if we had been in a tent. Thanks mom and dad! 
We had a lot of fun at the water. Lake Yellowstone was really high but beautiful. The boys loved throwing rocks into it. 
One thing we did different this year was take our bikes. We did a lot of biking, which was nice for seeing things further off the beaten path. Plus, we didn't have to carry the boys or wait for them. 
This picture was Dave's favorite. You can't read the sign behind them very well, but is says, "Beware of wild animals." They are being the wild animals. 
This is the "Lion King" picture. Chad found some rocks to climb on. They were about 8 feet off the ground. He was so funny. Normally he would not have dared climb up them, but he reminded me that he is 4 now, and he is braver. Aparently there really is something magic that happens on your birthday. 
Tyler, Chad and me at Old Faithful. We always have to get an ice cream cone at the Inn.
All the boys were a big help in setting up. Chad and Tyler wanted to do everything that dad did.We had a great time. The only mishap was that I forgot to take Pull Ups for Chad for night time. Just a word to others, there are no Pull Ups for sale in the park, and the nearest store is about 1 1/2 hours away. We made do. I hoped Chad would learn to stay dry at night because he had to for 4 nights, but no such luck. We had a great time and are looking forward to going again, hopefully next year, although Dave will probably convince me to wait 2.
Looks like tons of fun! We are going to Twin Lakes soon, and we are REALLY hoping to borrow Marks parents trailer. I agree, trailer is much better with kids.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time. I must agree with you Yellowstone is one of my favorite places too. Too bad I didn't get there this year. The bikes are a great idea, I will have to take ours the next time we go.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! You have such a cute family! I am glad that everyone had a good time and that you were able to stay DRY! That can be a good time in itself. Good Luck with next year!
