We ended our 2 week trip with the Hobbs family by spending one night in Jackson WY and then 3 nights in a cabin in Montana not far from Yellowstone. It was so BEAUTIFUL there. Not to mention that it was probably 20 degrees cooler there than it was in Moab or St. George. The first few pictures were taken when we were in Jackson. Steve and his brother-in-law Steve drove up the day before us because my Steve had a job to finish there. Heather and the kids and I met them there the next night. These pictures were taken where Steve was working. If you look really hard in the background in the pictures where the kids are on the rock you can see Harry's house down there. You know, Harry. Ford. Indiana Jones. Han Solo. One of the houses in the "neighborhood" (more like side of the mountain) was not much larger than my house now and they were only asking 17 million for it. We are thinking about getting it for a summer home. You will have to come visit.
Anyway. We loved Yellowstone. We have been there a dozen or so times before. The last time we went was with Sam before he left for his mission so it reminded me of being there with him. We saw a lot of wild animals, unfortunately (?) we didn't get to see a bear like our guests from Missouri wanted to. But we came close. There was one not far off the road but the park rangers were not letting people stop or even slow down to see. RUDE!
The kids had so much fun at the cabin. Aubrey is my little bug girl and she took her little bug house and the kids helped her catch all kinds of bugs and a ton of butterflies and lady bugs to put in it. In fact, some of them are still alive today. There was also a little creek that ran through the canyon we were in and the kids spent hours catching little minnows and other various water creatures.
If you are looking at the slide show saying- DANG! What does she have 500 pictures on here or what??? Just be thankful. When I downloaded them there was almost 200 but I cut it down to 97 and then went back through several times and cut it down to 59.
It was a very fun trip and I am so glad we were able to go. We had so much fun with Steve and Heather and their family. Thank for coming to visit us and letting us be a part of your family vacation. We miss you!

Allyson, I want to know if you are going to take us to do all of this fun stuff when we come up there next summer. Probably June. We are staying with Aunt Kay and hopefully grandma will fly up there while we are there. Grandma wants to go see the cabin where her dad grew up. I kind of want to go to Idaho too.
As long as you don't come when it's hot.
Guess that is a no! I wish we could come in March, but we only have a week for Spring Break.
I am just kidding. I love taking people around downtown and showing them stuff. I make a good tour guide.
I miss living close to such beautiful places.
You could move....
You made a much better tour guide than the one we had at the conference center!
We miss you all too! We all had such an amazing time! I wish we could move out there ourselves, I am still trying to convince him...
Just wait. He will cave one of these days.
All I can say is...BEAUTIFUL!
