Yellowstone

So I have lots to catch up on so I'm going to start with our last trip to Yellowstone with my best friend Temala and her family. We got some amazing pictures and the day was perfect. It was gorgeous and not to hot and we went in July. When we finally made it up to North Yellowstone we got a short but hard rain storm and that was it. Then it was sunny (dusk) right after that. I am glad we got to go one more time before we moved.

 Carter got two way radios for his birthday and him and Jaden were having a blast. However they didn't work very well if they weren't within talking distance already. They didn't care.

 We celebrated Carters birthday at Old Faithful. The kids liked it. I'm very grateful for lots of wipes and Cheetos.

 I think Natalia was super tired. We didn't get many pictures of her not being in La La land.

 They all had their noses plugged. It was so stinky here. The wind was blowing perfectly for stinky smells.

 I love the view.

 Bubbling mud. Who doesn't think this is cool?

 This is three switchbacks below Temala and I. The kids literally took off.

 They are all the way at the bottom of the picture.

 Looking down at a waterfall is such and amazing feeling but frighting at the same time. I am so grateful for fences.

 I don't think these kids don't know what a good smile is. It's an Arnold genetic disorder I decided. :)

 Once again Temala and I got left behind.

 The petrified tree. I know that petrified wood isn't really uncommon but a tree still in the ground standing up. That's just fascinating to me. It was actually a lot cooler than it looks.

 I told you they don't know a real smile. You get one smiling descent but the other isn't It's luck to get both of them at the same time.

 Then I get both of them with a descent picture and they have a dad I should have left out of it. I told you it's an Arnold thing.

 Mammoth Falls.

 The kids being silly

 It's a descent picture you can just see all the missing teeth

 Isn't she so stinkin cute?

 The moon coming out at Mammoth Falls

 So cool looking

 There's the clouds that poured on us really good for ten minutes.

 The top of Mammoth Falls. Isn't that just so cool?
