Yellowstone

Yesterday Josh, Daniel, Lindsay, my parents and I all went to Yellowstone. It was so much fun! We had gone last year with Lindsay and she was so good, so we thought we would do it again. She was so good this year as well. Her favorite part was seeing the boiling MUD! She kept calling it "pretty mud" and said it was so "Beeaaauuutifulll". We saw Old Faithful (barely- as we were walking through the parking lot it was going off), Dragons Mouth, Mud Volcano, Yellowstone Lake and Norris. While we were eating lunch a mommy elk and her calf walked through camp. That was cool! Our last stop was Norris. Josh and my dad wanted to take the long loop, which was a mile, and my mom and I and the kids went on the shorter loop (1/2 mile). It was kind of steep and hard to push the strollers through. By the time we got back to the van, we were exhausted. Well, my dad and Josh showed up about 5 minutes after us. We couldn't believe they went twice as fast as us. Oh well. Lindsay and Daniel were really good. Lindsay got a new Yellowstone shirt and some shiny rocks that are her new favorite toy. She also got one of those souvenir pennies with a hiker on it that she thinks is "Barbie". I can't wait to go back next year. Oh, and I would post pics, but we only took pics with our film camera (old school, I know). So, I could get them developed and scan them in, but it might be a while.
