Yellowstone 2012

We had a BLAST in Yellowstone. It was a great trip considering it meant two young kids in a car for a long time and camping for 4 days with a crawling baby. There is so much fun to be had in so little time. I loved camping, seeing the scenery and wildlife, playing in the many rivers with the boys, freezing our butts off at night, cooking over the fire, and much more.




 Moose Ears!!


 Nick's very first pocket knife!! Which he promptly cut his thumb with of course.


 Yellowstone is a very beautiful and very big national park. This little guy did pretty good considering how much time he had to spend in his car seat while we drove around enjoying the park.

 One of the best parts of the trip was Nick getting his Junior Ranger Badge! He had to do a packet of activities and pass an exam with a ranger to get it. He was really excited about all the things he had to do and of course very excited to be a Junior Ranger! This kid made the trip SO much fun for all of us.

 


 Playing in the dirt, heaven for any little boy.


Nick took this picture. He loved playing with the camera and telling us how to pose (what to do and where to put our hands etc.) and actually took quite a few good pictures. We may have a little photographer on our hands.
