trip to Yellowstone - 26-29 July 2010

Our family vacation to Yellowstone!  Ok, one of the main reasons for going was because we were going to be so close to ID anyhow (in Logan) and Yellowstone wasn't much further, and then I could go to Montana, I'd never been to Montana before, and I could add another state to the ones I've been to (still need HI, AK, WA, ND, SD, WI, ME, VT, MA, CT and RI - one day I'll convince Brad we need to go to New England and I'll get a lot more states added, been trying to convince him we need to take a cruise to Alaska from Washington, then I could add 2 more states and a country (no, never been to Canada - both of my sisters and parents have been, but I still haven't).  So, if you didn't already know, I like to travel, and I'm trying to visit every state and country, but enough of that b/c Yellowstone was amazing!  It was so spectacular, besides worrying that Corin would run off of the walkways and ..., I think that even the kids thought it was cool.  So here are our pictures - enjoy - and just in my opinion - Old Faithful really wasn't that interesting - and it was 20 minutes later than it faithfully was to go off.
the only bear we saw
read the sign and see where our runner/darter is safely at...
still safely secured....
we let him down here - we're at a small (non steaming) stream
 
why is it there's always one who doesn't smile for a picture?
we have a webshots of this view (my favorite webshot)- of course it's in a better angle, and at sunset/rise, but i was excited to have found it
