Adventure to Yellowstone


We knew at some point we would be going to Yellowstone (especially since we're only 1 1/2 hours away) so over the 24th Jackson's family decided to gather the whole family (21 people total) to our house. Luckily we have enough room to accomodate everyone. (I had a friend ask how I was fitting everyone into my house) We had a fun night of fireworks and then headed out to Yellowstone the next day. I haven't been there since I think I was 6, so I have some memories but (mostly steam and things that were yellow). We really had a great together. Jackson's sister-in-law and brother booked a great camp spot right off the Madiosn River for to stay. It was really beautiful with all the different wildflowers and river.


Highlights:

* yummy conference mix (swedish fish, goldfish,pretzels,nuts and skittles)
(got it's name because we have it a conference)
*Bennett complaining that "Old Faithful" was NEVER going to blow and us telling him he was right that today was the day "Old Faithful" wouldn't be faithful. (later when asked what his favorite part was, he said Old Faithful)
*The Bison we saw walking down the highway as if he was just another car. He passed right by us. (There was a man on a motorcycle behind him trying to decide whether to pass or not)
*Having icecream at Mooseberry's
*Wildflowers everywhere
*The amazing colors


Lowlights:
*Our poor niece who had a high fever for most of the trip
*Libby getting grumpy because of low bloodsugar
*The smell and heat from the pools
*The trip didn't last long enough
