Last week we went to Yellowstone with Jeffs bother James, his wife Kirsten, and their two kids Nathan and Alexis. It was alot of fun. We saw so many things that you don't see anywhere else.
Jeff went crazy with the pictures, so please be patient with the slide shows, it's the only way for
me too show some of the things we saw.
We went to as many of the geysers and pools as we could. the kids were having fun taking lots of pictures. And every once in a while the wind would shift and blow the steam at us. It was great to watch the kids grab their noses.
Jeff and James took a day to go see some of the waterfalls in the park. Kirsten and I stayed at the resort with the kids because of the hikes involved. We did take them on a couple of the hikes and I must say, Fairy falls had a 5.2 mile hike round trip and we made it through it with little complaints, Way to go kiddies!
If you want to see animals in the wild, Yellowstone is a good place too go. This is just a few that we saw. It was crazy to have Buffalo walk right past the car, and to have Elk walking and lounging around the town. Jeff and James even saw a bear in the wild when they were hiking.
We are glad that James and family could come with us. It wouldn't have been the same without them!

Happy Birthday Denni!

This post is long overdue!

On the 27th our baby girl turned 9! I just can't believe were almost to double digits. We had a fun birthday BBQ combined with our anniversary get together, so all in all we had 13 adults & 14 kids (5 of which are under 18 months). Talk about a full house! It was so much fun, thanks to everyone who was able to make it.
Jeff was in charge of picture taking, but with so many friends and family there we were too busy socializing to worry about the camera. Here is the slim pickins
