Yellowstone



We went to Yellowstone! We minus 1. Kevin had to work so the rest of us packed up the van and drove the 8 hours to meet Grandma and Grandpa Nielsen and the Roper's and Jen and Melissa in West Yellowstone. What a fun trip. We saw all the sights and a whole bunch of great animals. We even saw a bear! So cool. We were on our way out of the park and traffic was backed up, again (traffic in yellowstone...who knew??) The bear was right across the river not far from the road so we stopped and got out and everyone got to see it which made it really neat for the little ones. We stayed in this great house that Grandpa got for us and we had a blast. The cousins played and played together and the adults got to chat, eat and visit to our hearts content. We played Ticket to ride for hours every night. Besides a day of nasty stomach flu for a few we had a fabulous time. We are so grateful to Grandma and Grandpa for planning the get together and for allowing us to make some great memories together.
