Yellowstone Part Three

Are you sick of Yellowstone pics yet?  One more part after this one, and then on to Bear Lake.

People were always being carried.  My feet reminded me that I was NOT being carried.

Stephen had some conference calls to make.  The lodge at Old Faithful had the best wifi so we hung out there.  At lunch in the lodge and explored the hotel.

These two sat on a ledge facing Old Faithful having quite the conversation.  I was worried that they would fall and the vacation would end with a broken leg.

There are giant rocking chairs on that porch facing Old Faithful.  It was fun to watch away from all of the people, and to have Ashley entertain us.

The jumping didn’t stop even when it went off.

In fact others joined in…

And some posed as “cool” in front.

This is how group shots go right before Stephen yells and makes them do this instead.

We then watched Old Faithful from the hotel deck in these big log seats.  The lodge was amazing!  I can’t imagine how cool the guy felt that built the tree house inside.  It would be every boy and girls dream to have a tree house like that.

We took advantage of the time by writing postcards to ourselves and drawing.

One child refused to do any writing and explored instead…

We also went into the visitor’s center.  I made each of the kids’ memorize three facts to tell the family as we hiked on our next trail.  Nathan proceeded to tell his in another language.  Supposedly I wasn’t specific about regurgitating them in English.  All of the kids of course that he was hilarious speaking in German.

Are you ready to go to Yellowstone now?  My favorite pictures will be in the next part and will for sure convince you that you MUST see Yellowstone!
