Yellowstone

October 13-15 was the week of Jaran's spring break at the U, so our friends Brock and Betsy Loomis invited us to go to Yellowstone with them. Their family has a time share in West Yellowstone where we stayed which was way nice. The first night we got there we walked around town and went to a bunch of stores and gift shops, then ate dinner at the Bear Tooth Barbeque, so good! When we got back to our condo we went swimming, played Yahtzee, then went to bed so we could get up early and go into the park.

So excited to be in Montana!

The weather all day was cold! It rained off and on, and as we got higher up there was lots of snow already. There wasn't a lot of people there so we didn't have to deal with crowds which was nice, and because it was so cold it made the steam from all the hot pots look so much cooler!

We were lucky enough to see Old Faithful when it wasn't raining. It cleared up for a bit and we only waited for about 30 minutes for it to go off!

We saw quite a few animals- mostly just deer, antelope, and buffalo though. No bears unfortunately which is what we hoped for.

This picture is hard to see but I thought it was cool because all you can tell how foggy it was around us by some of the hot pots

After we left the park we went out for Pizza that night and went swimming again, then packed up and headed home the next day. We had a great time getting away for a few days and loved Yellowstone!
