This last week we took a fun trip to Yellowstone! I have three posts' worth of pics for you to enjoy!
First, we had to drop off Dakota at the boarding kennel. She loves it there and she got really excited to play with friends. She sat at the window as we drove away. It was hard to leave her, but we took this picture because she was so cute sitting there, wishing us happy trails.
The first time we stopped for gas (in St Anthony), there was a cute little park nearby and there was an Army tank. Wow!! The boys had to go check it out. How cool is that???
Andy was delighted by the stream running through the park, even though we couldn't see any fish in it. It's a cute little spot though, isn't it?
We checked in to our room, and just a block away was a grizzly and wolf preserve. Did you know poachers are killing bears for their gallbladders?? Apparently it's a delicacy in some countries. Weird! Anyway, it was an interesting place. You get a pretty good view of wolves...we watched them eat their breakfast the next day. The bears were pretty boring, but we got to see them.
In the gift shop there's this giant teddy bear couch. Spencer looks so tiny! Carson was a little freaked out by it.
This wolf was just on the other side of a window. Isn't he beautiful? It made me miss my doggy. Most of the wolves were the same size or smaller than Dakota!
We went into the park just a little. You have to drive a long time to get to different areas of the park, so we just looked at some hot pots, visited Old Faithful, and called it good.
I love the colors in this one. Spencer enjoyed standing in the steam and smelling the sulfur.
There's Old Faithful! Spencer thought it was pretty cool. Carson wasn't overly impressed. Just after Old Faithful went up, another geyser right by it started.
Again, we had to stop and look at a river. This is one of Andy's favorite fishing spots in Yellowstone. We saw some old geezers there and had to stop and ask, "So, what are you using?" (meaning, "What kind of flies are you using?") A good fisherman never misses a chance to hobnob with the old guys.
Exhausted little boys! I love to watch them sleep, especially when they share a bed! There was a LOT of giggling before they finally conked out. We had to keep reminding them to go to sleep, but it was the cutest sound ever. I can't help smiling when I hear that.
