Yellowstone

Most people go to Yellowstone National Park, see Old Faithful go off, and get back in their cars and leave the park. Jared and I have been to Yellowstone 2 summers in a row, camped on the ground 5 nights each time, and still haven't seen much of Yellowstone. This park is so big you could spend a lifetime photographing it. Oh and just a warning plan on getting wet, if it isn't rain then it's the geysers. A couple days into our camping adventure at Bridge Bay campground it started to rain cats and dogs. Last year we left yellowstone because all our gear was wet due to a leaky quick tent. Well a river was running right under our tent and we had to do some quick manouvering in the rain. We pulled up the stakes and moved the tent out of the river. I can say our REI tent didn't leak, this tent saved our trip this year. The tent did happen to leak water onto my sleeping bag because the back fly was open for part of the rain storm, oops(that was my fault.) Now that our tent doesn't leak we can camp in the rain.

White Dome Geyser.

A fawn that came through the campsite with her mom.

Daddy and the boys throwing rocks into Yellowstone Lake. We hiked from our campground down to the lake for a night time activity. I lost my truck keys on this hike.

The boys looking into Morning Glory Pool.


Jonathan watching Riverside Geyser go off, Benjamin mad because he can't have Daddy's soda.

I took this picture while waiting for daddy to take some pictures. There are some bison on the other side of the river.


Grand Geyser. If you see this geyser go off you won't wait to see Old Faithful go off. This trip we didn't see Old Faithful Geyser go off.

Chain Lakes, in Upper Geyser Basin.


Bison, bison, and more bison.


Emerald Pool.





Gibbons Falls



That is the sound of water in the background. Jared is telling me that doing a video "eats the memory card huh?"
