In June 2011 Chance and I decided to pick up the boys and go through Yellowstone. We picked up Brian and John in Bozeman and camped a couple of nights in the Park. We had such an awesome time. I had a hard time keeping up with these hard-core hikers though. It felt like I was sprinting up and down the trails to jeers of, "Come on, short legs!" Still... a trip to remember for sure!
Sorry the pictures loaded all out of order - combining two different cameras is such a hassle, but there were good pics from both, and it's too late at night to worry about the order. :) Enjoy!!!

| And mama close-by. We had our tents at the base of this hill, and awoke to stampeding elk in the middle of the night. I laid there listening to them chewing grass (with visions of taking a hoof through the temple) until the sun came up. |
