Yellowstone

We took a family trip to Yellowstone National Park.
We drove to Idaho Falls and picked up a 30 foot RV.


You can't see it very well but we saw a momma grizzly with her 2 cubs. We had no desire to get out and walk towards them. We left that to everyone else.A steam pot that came up in the middle of a parking lot.
Dave and the kids fishing on Yellowstone lake. I did not go. I have discovered I get sea sick. Sitting around the camp fire.
Watching Old Faithful erupt.

Last week we had a family reunion, and then 2 days off and we headed out to Yellowstone. Mean while I have had a horrible cold. I am finally over it.Dave, Courtney, and James
James almost favorite thing at Yellowstone. The old Tour buses.
My favorite pool

We had fun. And learned that yes you can do Yellowstone in a 30 Foot RV. But next time we will tow the Suburban behind, and park the RV and Drive the Suburban around Yellowstone.

4th of July

We spent the morning up at Bear Lake. It was over cast and rained a bit, but we still had fun.
Jordan jumped in and swam around for a while. We told the kids if they jumped in they could have a donut. Dave convinently pushed me in so I could a donut.


David and Justin spent the last 30 min riding on the tube, They had fun. I have some video, as soon as Justin edits it, I will upload it.


James after we got him off the tube, he did it, but did not want to go a second time, we also made him get in the lake. He earned a donut for his efforts.
These three managed to flip the tube. Everyone went under but no one panicked and made it safely to the boat. We had a blast and everyone is looking forward to doing it again.
