Yellowstone

In May and June we've had some really beautiful days outside. We've spent a lot of time at Sherman Park here in Victor and the kids have LOVED it! Here's Emily Mazel.

On Thursday, May 30, we took our kids on a hike in the Mike Harris campground about 5 minutes from our house. They loved being in nature and we all had a great time.

Leslie and Abby held hands the whole time. It was pretty cute.

Poor little Caleb had pink eye, but was a really good boy the entire hike.

We even got really close to a beautiful monarch butterfly.

On Friday, May 31, we took a day trip to Yellowstone.

The kids loved seeing Lewis Falls very soon after we entered the park.

We tried to beat the crowds, but it was already getting pretty crowded at Yellowstone.

Our next stop was the West Thumb Geyser Basin. 

We saw an elk.

The kids loved hearing the science behind everything from their very knowledgeable father.

After that we stopped at another waterfall and ate some lunch.

I really like waterfalls.

After lunch we drove to see Old Faithful. The anticipation was real, but totally worth it after we got to see it erupt!

We saw lots of bison while we drove through Yellowstone.

They were EVERYWHERE!

There's a coyote!

After Old Faithful we drove to see the Grand Prismatic Hot Spring.

It was really interesting and the kids loved seeing all the different colors.

Emily wrote a list of the animals we saw on our way and in Yellowstone. Pretty impressive list...even though we did not see any bears.

On our way home we made a stop to see Mesa Falls.

The waterfall is so impressive!

It's so fun to live close to so many beautiful places!
