(or maybe just more pictures of Gage)
Yellowstone
After our trip down the river, Dustyn and I went down to take some photos. Island Park is actually quite beautiful! (not that I was doubting that)
Here is a picture of the cabin from down by the river. Gage was nice enough to wake me up super early (4:30-5:30AM) every morning to make sure that I could watch for the moose that hang around in the area. Sadly, I still never got to see a moose.
Taking pictures by the river.
And of course the moon.
Dustyn was playing with one of his large lenses.
The whole week was beautiful.
At one point during the week, we went to Fishing Bridge.
Again, beautiful.
Gage was asleep. We were trying our best to keep him out of the sun all week.
Therefore getting a lot of pictures of blankets and strollers. At least he arrived home sunburn free. That is the important part.
Once Gage did decide to wake up, he was definitely not impressed.
On to Yellowstone.
We had a good time looking for wildlife and walking all the sites.
We saw lots of elk and buffalo, a few deer, 5 bears, 1 coyote, and 1 llama (seriously. who knows why. I think one of the tour outfitters must have lost it. It was far up on the mountain.)
A few of the buffalo were a little too close for my comfort. The rest of my family are in that van. And yes, they do have the sliding door open. Brave?
The geysers were spectacular. So full of color.
Awake one minute.
Asleep the next. (Literally moments later.)
And awake again.
We skipped over the mud pots. (we had pregnant people aboard. Okay, so actually we were short on time and the smell was enough to make our decision easy. Sadly, I can almost smell them now.)
We stopped for a picnic. Gage was so happy to lay on the ground and kick for awhile. Yellowstone is a very long day for a car seat. He definitely welcomed the breaks! He knew how to get us out of the car though. (Notice the outfit change)
We stopped at Fishing Bridge. Couldn't leave without a souvenir, right?
Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Beautiful.
My family.
A few pretty sunsets, just for fun.
Can you see why I want to go again?
