Yellowstone National Park


Pictures of Yellowstone National Park!


Days Inn Hotel & Swimming Pool
The kids had a lot of fun swimming at the hotel in West Yellowstone. My kids are water dogs, and never want to get out of the pool. The slide was the highlight for them.

Alyssa loves jumping into the pool.

Alyssa really liked going down the slide. As soon as she was at the bottom she kept saying,"Again, Again!!"

The kids
This past weekend we took a family trip to Yellowstone National Park. We had a lot of fun. We went through Island Park and made a few stops along the way. We stopped to see Mesa Falls, and Big Springs. We stayed that night at a Hotel and the kids got to swim. It had a fun indoor pool with a big tube slide. All day Saturday we drove through the park. We got to see some wild life, the hot pots, some waterfalls, and of course the Old Faithful Geyser. On the way home we got to stay at Grandpa and Grandma Hughes house. We missed seeing them (they were camping that weekend in Star Valley). The kids had fun playing in her preschool room. On Sunday we headed back to Boise. We stopped at Bill's parents in Pocetello and had dinner with them and Ryan, and watched some of General Conference. It was a really fun weekend!

I use Picassa2 to do the collages on my blog. You can download it free off the internet and just set it up so that whenever we open it, it downloads all of our new photos on the computer into that program.

Cute pictures. My kids are water crazy as well. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to get Carter onto a swim team soon.
