So since Delton and I went to Yellowstone, your pass is good for 7 days. So I ended up talking Heather into going. Cora was at Girl Scout camp, so we thought it would be fun for Keegan and Alexa to do something fun with just them. So they said they wanted to go and so off we went again.
We left a little later than we had wanted, so at the first creek we could find we stopped and had lunch.
I think the kids were just happy to be out of the car and eating. It was like they were starving and couldn't wait another minute. So we made sure we found a little spot that was cool and flat enough for lunch.
The creek was too tempting for the kids and they just had to share their lunch with the fishes. So once they were done, off they went to throw bread crumbs into the water.
When the first set of geysers showed themselves, Cameron started clapping his hands and say "YEAH poofs!!" It was quite cute. I didn't realize how much he enjoyed Yellowstone. So we had to stop, well once we found one that had parking available. The park was WAY crowded, it was just crazy. Keegan and Alexa were by each other sides the whole time. They act more like best friends than cousins. So we had to get a posing picture on the bridge.
These geysers were right next to the river and the kids thought it was cool how the hot water flowed into the river.
The pools that were on top of the river. Cameron once again hated the steam, but he was getting a little better. Kenzie didn't like it very much either.
Trying to get all the kids in a pic, didn't work out that well. Oh well.
Kenzie just chillin' in her stroller. She was such a sport, with all the time in the car and then being stuck in the stroller.
We only had time to go see Old Faithful and once again we had over an hour to wait before it went off again. So Keegan wanted to show Alexa the lodges. They wanted to go explore the floor above us, alone, so we let them. This is when they were heading back to us. I thought it was cute how they were holding hands.
We had to get another pic infront of the sign of Old Faithful. I think we did pretty well with getting all 4 kids to look at the camera. Not all smiles, but hey at least you can see their faces.
We had to wait a little longer, so they just played around.
Cameron started giving loves to everyone. First was Keegan...
...then it was Kenzie's turn....
...next was Aunt Heather and Kenzie. So loves all around!!
The loves ended just in time because Old Faithful decided to show his stuff...
Wow...it never gets old. Well at least to me. :)
Once again, another storm started showing up, so Heather and I decided to head on home. We were hoping to stop in West Yellowstone and get some candy at the Fudge Shop. So we left and within a few minutes Kenzie was dead asleep.
Keegan and Alexa of course were still up and running. They had fun playing cards in the back. Like it how Alexa has picked up on Keegan's hand signs? I bet Heather is just loving that!! Sorry, my boys are defintely boys. hehe
Cameron lasted a little longer than Kenzie but soon after he was knocked out too.
We stopped in West Yellowstone and had to run through a hail storm to get to the candy store. Yes, I know, we are crazy but it is a tradition. We have to get fudge when we go to Yellowstone. So all the kids got their own little baggies of candy and Heather and I got our fudge. Once all that was done, we headed home. We stopped at Big Judd's for dinner, which is yummy as usual. Then we got home. It was a fun day and I am glad Heather came even though she is like Delton and hates Yellowstone. :) Thanks Heather!!!
A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.
