Jellystone Park

Two days in Yellowstone gave us just enough time to see some great stuff and far too much time for me to spend with the hordes of other vacationers!


Terraces at Mammoth
I didn't get quite the right angle for the effect I wanted. Superman wasn't thrilled that I would make our baby pose like this.......but it was too good to resist.

The LONG trail down to the falls. One of the families behind us had a girl that counted the steps. She said there were 339. I bet there were more for Superman. He had to carry Max and come back for Mads when she got tired.


The breath taking canyon where the falls dropped to.


Finally at the bottom. You can't really tell how big they are. We were there for 3.5 seconds before the other tourists pushed us out of the way and we started back up.....only 339 more steps to go!




The kids kept seeing signs that said to stay clear of the wildlife because they are dangerous. They were a bit worried they were going to be gored by this buffalo.










A break at the lake to pose for pics!








Mads preferred to take some model shots instead of looking at the buffalo we risked our lives crossing traffic to see.

Big Daddy




A huge elk herd in North Yellowstone













Madison.........at Madison










That's what it's all about.










These two were trashed by this point.












After boiling in the heat while waiting for Old Faithful........we took the walk around the area and saw some other beautiful geysers.












Chillin ..... waiting for a cheese stick and some Gatorade.











Like it says Continental Divide

















The sweetest little lilly pond right next to the Continental Divide.
Like Mads likes to say 'gorgeosity'.









These hot pots were some of the most fascinating and beautiful things we saw. The colors were so clear and gorgeous. I can't even use words to tell how great they were.

What a fun trip. I haven't been there in ages. I would love to take my kids.
