Yellowstone...

Ok so I take full responsibility for for the death of this blog. Life had not a lot of excitement until recently. Now that we have bought a house, are working on making it really our own, taking a few small trips and the arrival of summer, things are looking up!

I will make some posts about our house soon, but I thought I would start with our recent trip up to Island Park for Memorial Day weekend. It was a nice, quiet, cold weekend. We did get a trip to Yellowstone in though, which was my first time going! We saw lots of bison and elk but no bears, which Daniel pretty much cried about.

One guy was excited to see the elk up close and personal...and we were excited to see his impending death, but no luck.



We drove alongside some bison (buffalo?) and I thought about pulling an orange shirt guy move and trying to pet one. Good thing I'm smart.

Then we carried on to see Old Faithful where Jackson was a little...underwhelmed. But adorable as always!



We drove the loop and saw Yellowstone Lake completely frozen and beautiful. Then we finished our visit with a little jaunt to the falls.

It was a nice little trip and thanks to R&V for having us! Next stop.. Denver. More to come on that later.

That orange shirt guy doesn't look as close to the wildlife in these pics as he really was. He probably thought he was such a adventurous risk taker when really he's just a jackhole.

Thanks for sharing the weekend with us!

Daniel, please don't cry. I've been taking that trek up there year after year and have only seen 2 bears in 20 years! It's a hoax! They all moved to Alaska!
