Yellowstone 2012

We made a trip to Yellowstone on Saturday, June 9th. It was very cold, but still lots of fun!
Of course this is my favorite picture!

 




Mikayla's hands were so cold, but she found a way to warm them up! Hot steam right from the earth!

 

Nice face, Bryce! But it really was neat to see mud bubbling up!





Love this picture...Erica and her Daddy!

On Monday we visited Bear World, which is about 15 minutes from Idaho Falls. It was really neat. You could drive through and see lots of animals. They also had a petting zoo and rides, which you'll see later too!





We all loved seeing the baby deer!

So of course my kids run right past the awesome baby deer just sitting there, and lots of other animals, to go see the CHICKENS! I think they missed their own chickens, what do you think?

The goats totally know what comes out of these machines! They just hang out until someone puts a quarter in!




Having fun with my kids on the oh-so-scary roller coaster



Gotta love that face!



Um, yeah, she's a little big for this ride!

As you can tell by their faces, the train ride was very scary.

A chicken with awesome hair! We so want one of these now!



At my dad's house, Mikayla made up this awesome game...a marker attached to a string attached to a box. You try to throw it on a branch.  And we all went out and played it with her. She's so creative!




My niece Bekah...so cute!

 



And of course, as soon as we got home, the girls were at it again...painting one of the new chicken's nails!
