Family Trip to Yellowstone

We had such a blast having Cory's whole family come down and stay with us. We went to Yellowstone, had a campfire at the sand dunes, and went to the zoo. It was one of the funnest trips ever. I haven't been to Yellowstone since I was a little girl, and it was so awesome. We saw a bunch of animals, and the kids were in heaven. Marlee still bugs me about going back, and she missses all her family in Utah. Thanks everyone for coming. We need to do it again soon.

This is Brody and my sweet niece Zowie. She has Rhett Syndrom, so she can't walk or talk, but she is the sweetest, cutest little girl ever. We love her so much. Brody was putting the moves on her.
Marlee and me at the zoo with the flamingos.

Liam, Zowie, Rylee, and Max in Yellowstone. The kids made it so much fun.


Simon, Morgan, and Brody. They are all about 4 months apart.
The grand canyon of Yellowstone.


Simon, Katelynn, and Rylee watching Old Faithful. I must say the geyser seemed a lot bigger when I was little. I guess when your a kid everything is more exciting.


Marlee and Brody loved the Buffalo. We also saw a coyote, elk, a black bear, and two grizzley bears. The bears were too far to get a good picture, but it was awesome to see them in the wild. Our brother-in-law, Lance, thought he saw some bears on the mountain and started yelling and telling us to follow him in the car. We were pretty excited until we looked on the hill and saw a couple buffalos. We laughed so hard. We'll never forget it Lance.

Michelle, Simon, and Natalie. Sorry about the candid shots. We never took a group photo.


Brittney playing with Zowie, Simon, and Morgan. Britt is Zowie's mom, and she is amazing. She is one of the finalists for Utah best blogs, so everyone please go to her blog and vote. She is under my friends and families list under Britt and Rob.

I am so glad that you posted pictures! I have been trying to check everyday to see some since my camera died! :) We had so much fun...Katelynn said that it was the best adventure ever even better than disneyland. It was a much needed and really fun vacation. We can't wait to see you again in a couple of weeks!
