Yellowstone National Park

For Pioneer Day Weekend, we packed up the truck and headed to Yellowstone National Park with Cole's cousin Scott and his awesome wife Taysia. We had such a blast! We'd been planning the trip FOREVER so now that it came and went so fast, I think I better start thinking of somewhere else to go! :)
We saw lots of Buffalo in the park, a Black Bear, a Pelican, Ground Squirrels, Elk, and a coyote. We were really hoping to see Moose, some Bull Elk, and a Grizzly, but that didn't happen! Next time I guess. We can't be too picky.
The kids had a really good time and they were SO good on the long drives! I was very proud of them! Below I've posted a ton of pictures...they are not in any kind of order...and I'm too lazy to move them all around...

Fishing

We went Saturday to Fairview Lakes to go fishing with some of my family. My grandpa Clip came along, and I LOVE fishing with him. He used to take us in the summers when I was little and he's taught me everything I know about fishing, even gutting them! (I impressed Cole when he jokingly handed me his knife, and said, here, you clean it...and I did. ) It was a beautiful day on the lake, although the fishing could have been better.
