Yellowstone

We have spent the past five days in the Yellowstone/Jackson Hole area. It was such an amazing vacation. We had the best time. While we were there we saw hundreds of buffalo, four moose, deer, coyotes, tons of elk, big horn sheep, three wolves, one grizzly bear, and four black bears. It was awesome! Here are A LOT of pictures!                                                                                                                      
Brilee loves Scooter. She is a little confused on their age difference though. She calls him a baby and is always trying to mother him. She was hugging him every chance she got. Poor Scooter!
This is at the Bar J Wranglers. It was such a fun experience. We got to the ranch walked around, rode on the carriage, ate, and watched the show. We loved it! Right before this picture was taken poor Cy about fell right on his face. Leeber caught him though. 
Walking around the ranch.
Brilee on the carriage, being pulled by Bert and Ernie.
Our hotel room was 342... anyone know the significance? (Carly will probably be the only one!)
Two moose as we were heading into the park.
Grandma chasing the babies while we waited for Old Faithful.
Stinky board walk!
While we were exploring the Old Faithful area we had a crow digging into our suitcase. As we were walking to the truck I found a pair of Jake's underwear across the parking lot. I was embarrassed and confused so I just threw them in the stroller. When we got to the truck we saw the crow. He had put a hole in our suitcase, ripped up our dirty clothes bag, and took the underwear. It was SO random!
We lucked out weather wise. It rained all day and when we got to Old Faithful it stopped. 
Brilee figured out how to escape from her stroller.

Look how cute the baby buffalo is!
We wore these two babies out. They were the best babies the whole trip.
Brilee tickling Cy. 
One of the high lights of the trip was being able to swim three nights in a row!
Brilee and Annalee hanging out!
Right out our hotel door.

We hiked to the bottom of the Tower water fall to find out the trail was closed. 
We got WAY close to these elk!
I can't get this picture to turn, but I love it anyways!





Yellowstone Lake
Yummy Mud Pots!
This is where we saw the HUGE black wolf and Grizzly Bear.


The wolf was eating an elk that had been hit the night before in the park.






We ate dinner at Bubba's. Brilee LOVES Bubba's!
