Yellowstone National Park

One more try to get to Yellowstone! 



We finally made it to Yellowstone!

Wearing masks when in crowds


 I may have over done it with pictures of Yellowstone but there was SO many beautiful things to see!  Gysers, bubbling mud pools, stinky sulfur in air and lots of animals to see. 




Water falls

Jumping on rocks 





This one doesn't like his picture taken anymore :(








It's like another planet





Finally he let me take a picture :)


Its truly amazing that this is only two states away from us








Entering the park- see the snow on the side

Bison! 

Looking out the windows for animals 

Yellowstone Lake





Pulling over to have lunch.
The RV made it so easy!


Old Faithful 



We got stopped by a ranger.  He thanked us for wearing masks and gave the boys jr. ranger badges!
He said thanks for keeping me and you safe! 







Camping in the woods.
This was my favorite campsite





Fires and smore's








Oh, the sunsets! 





Climbing rocks again! 




Elk

Steak dinner 


Everyone got a chance to cook smore's



Tastes so good when you make it yourself 



It started to hail on us during our nightly fire.  Glad we have a RV

More Bison 

Look at the baby bison


A brown bear!!!  We caught a look at this guy on our way out of the park.  The boys were so excited.
















So that's a wrap on our whirlwind trip to Yellowstone.  It was amazing and stressful.  It took the boys a couple of days to settle in and figure out the camping but each site we stopped at was fun for its own reasons.  It was nice when we had hook ups but the woods were so beautiful.  We had fires and lots of smores.  We saw rain, snow and hail.  I reminded the boys what it would have been like if we were in a tent.  The RV was great.  We didn't go to any public bathrooms- did learn about a poop stick!  (you know when a kid poops big enough it doesn't fit down the tube in the potty :) ) We saw mountain goats, elk, bison, prong horns and a bear!  The boys thought the bear was the coolest ever.  It was so close to the car.  It was the BEST road trip we have done with the boys.  It really helped that they could all spread out or sleep while we were driving.  I can't wait to plan our next trip.
