Yellowstone 2020

I was very excited to go to Yellowstone this year.  It is one of my very favorite places and we really haven't been able to go anywhere lately. I convinced Barry, even though it was August and a terrible time to see any animals that we needed to make a quick trip. :D I just took a few photo this time with my phone. I just wanted to focus on enjoying the scenery. :D

Last time we were here, Lauren took a little whiz in this pond. The water is very brown and murky now. I teased her that she polluted it. 

I told the kids to stay out of the water, but James couldn't really resist, before long he noticed quite a few leaches. That got him out quick. He fetched this one out of the water for me to see. 

Beautiful Majestic Yellowstone Lake!

Those rocks are SHarp!

I kept my eyes out for Bears while Barry took a nap on the beach. 

Yellowstone Lake is HUGE, if you have never seen it you need to!

Eleanor Lake! Unfortunately, Ellie tripped getting out of the van and skinned up her knees. So she choose not to go and try and catch a fish. 

Eleanor Lake's waterfall. Can you see it?

We got stuck on a bridge behind some buffalo, and when the buffalo crossed the bridge, the whole bridge just shook. IT was crazy. Barry thought the kids were rocking the van. Owen picked a giant Bull buffalo and named it shaggy. We saw shaggy all over the park after that. IT was fun to see Owen's enjoyment in spotting him.

Tetons in the background. So beautiful!

 

We went on a side loop drive that wasn't paved in Yellowstone. It is one of our favorite drives. It is very secluded and peaceful. Ellie spotted a giant buck with a huge rack. 

Of course, Barry wouldn't always pull over for my pictures. 

We got up early and ate breakfast real quick at the cabin and drove into Yellowstone at firstlight. This is my favorite time to be in yellowstone.

James fly fishing with Emma keeping an eye on him. 

Emma running down the hill. I have a pic of each of my girls running down this hill at Baronett Peak. Up on the cliffs upon her are the most adorable mountain goats. You can only see them through binoculars, but they look like this.
