We just returned from a week-long trip to Yellowstone National Park. It was a long drive, but we had a wonderful time. We met some family and friends there and ended up with quite a large group which made it even more fun, and a bit challenging at times. 
We stayed one night in Jackson, WY, and the next day Alyssa and Colonel Vincent took a rafting trip down part of the Snake River where they saw bald eagles, osprey, deer, white pelicans, beaver lodges, and frogs.
While they were gone, Jonathan and I napped and walked around the quaint town. Here we are standing by one of four huge arches made entirely of elk antlers they shed each year.
Then we drove through the Grand Tetons and up to Yellowstone. The flowers were at their peak and were just gorgeous!

The flowers were at their peak and were just gorgeous! The kids enjoyed playing in the water, playing on the rocks, watching fish in the water... and did I mention playing in the water? Of course, no one got wet.
While in Yellowstone, we stayed in a cabin in Canyon Village and made day trips from there to see sights around the park. Over the next few days, I will post some pictures of our excursions.
