Yellowstone National Park

It is hard to really show how beautiful Yellowstone is. I look at my pictures and they just really don't do it justice. It really is a beautiful great place. I liked what a park ranger said about seeing everything in the park and there is this little flower that you have to get down on your knees to see because it droops down. She said if you think about it being on your knees in a huge state park is quite a thing. Looking around you can see the beauty of God and what he has created and planned for us. We are so glad we went and so glad for my parents who planned this trip and helped make it all possible! Sure was glad we could send stuff with them in the trailer instead of having to bring it all on the plane!
I wish I could remember the names of all the things we saw but here is some of my best pictures.
This is the first buffalo of many that we saw. They are HUGE!
This river is huge and in flood stages, all the rivers and creeks are in flood stage. The park got a record snow fall this year so there is water everywhere! The fish are still trying to swim up river to spawn and so below where we are standing it was a little calmer and they were trying to swim upstream but didn't seem to be getting very far.
Camilla is trying to figure out the binoculars, she spent most of the trip with them around her neck and everytime we saw something she would put them to her eyes but never seemed to see anything!!
It was Kara's birthday the day we got there. I got her a cake and Camilla got to help her blow out the candles.:)
Looking like a tourist, sitting in front of the really cool Yellowstone Giftshop.
Waiting for Old Faithful to erupt.


There she goes! Pretty amazing the amount of water that comes out.
Old Faithful Inn
Weird stuff in a hot spring.
Ian took this through the binoculars.

We were so sad to leave, but so thankful to be there and see all the beauty of mother nature. Go visit!
