Been there, Done that, Going again!!!

**** This post will probably have tons of pictures****

So we went to Yellowstone for our 4th of July weekend. I was a little nervous cause we have never been camping on our own with out help with the kids. But we loved it, the kids loved it, and for the most part the kids we really good. There are so many amazing things there, so many animals to see. We loved looking for animals. Jakob lived with the binoculars around his neck. I don't know if I can do it justice with words so I will just show you the pictures. Colin has a photography final project due Wednesday, and he chose to do Yellowstone. So we have so many cool nature pictures. I think i might replace some of by bought pictures on my walls with the ones Colin took. We loved it so much we plan on going back labor day weekend. So if anyone wants to come with us........ we would love it!!!! Enjoy the pictures!

Looks like you had a lot of fun. We love Yellowstone too and were sad we didn't make it on our annual Memrorial Day Weekend Trip this year. But we plan on heading there for Labor Day Weekend too!!! Great Pictures. And thanks for commenting on my blog it's always fun to see what people say.

We are so jealous - we want to come for Labor Day but we will be Cruisin' up to Alaska. Give those cute Babies a hug for us. Some of those pictures are really good - Colin should get an A.

Just so you know...we went Labor day weekend last year and at night it literally freezes! The days time is fine, (not hot, but just right) but the nights got down to the 30's. We were not prepared and we froze. So when you go, make sure you pack for winter just in case!
