I'm still shocked and amazed that it happened, and sad that it's over! All my family were troopers and drove ACROSS THE COUNTRY to see our neck of the woods. We had about 6 days together, 1/2 in Jackson Hole and 1/2 in Yellowstone. It was blissful. Even the rain agreed with us, letting up at the most convenient times.

Sam DID NOT like the sulpher smell of the hot spots in Yellowstone- here he is plugging his nose.

Lorren's 2nd son, Brandon (12) is in between Adam and Shane. We were on the tram at Teton Village in Jackson, going up up up up up the mountain.

An awesome hot spring at Yellowstone, in West Thumb.
My sister Debbie's family arrived 1st and we met them at Teton Nat'l Park. Eric is on the left by Katie. Courtney is in the orange sweatshirt and is Debbie's oldest (14). Her friend Shelby came on the trip. Debbie is in green and her youngest, Matthew is in front of her.

Adam (13) is Debbie's middle child, sitting next to Sam in the car (who was OBSESSED with Adam's "magic dollar")
Matthew is 9 and Debbie's youngest. This was the 1st bear he saw on the trip. :)

We went with Mom and Chris's family on this horse-drawn stagecoach ride. It was fun!

Tracy with Mom and Dad on the Tram- it was REALLY HIGH so Mom preferred the view squatting on the floor, which obviously ensured her safety should we have crashed to the valley floor. :)
Chris's oldest, Sydney (8) with Sam at the West Thumb hot springs in Yellowstone.
Chris's middle child, Riley (4) with Sam, climbing rocks at Lower Falls, Yellowstone
Chris's youngest, Madilyn (17 months) chillin' in her stroller with Kate. They were binky buddies!
We saw MANY buffalo, elk, deer, crazy birds, and several bears. I think everyone was thrilled with the wildlife. We got to stay in awesome cabins (thanks Mom and Dad!), ate meals together at the lodges, saw Old Faithful go off a coupla times, took family pictures (forthcoming!), ate dinner at the Gun Barrel (best steaks ever!), went down the Alpine Slide, SHOPPED, hiked, played "Risk", drove alot (on lots of cliffs!) and had tons of fun. THANK YOU, FAMILY FOR MAKING THIS TRIP! It meant alot.

What a fun trip! Eric and I keep saying we need to venture up to Jackson and Yellowstone. Maybe someday. It looked beautiful.
Looks like fun, we went to Yellowstone last summer and had a blast, we however did not stay in cabins we roughed it in a tent. Glad you had a good time.
