Yellowstone

 Warning: lots of pictures in this post.

Grandma and I took Nathan and AJ to Yellowstone Bear World to see some bears, and we saw LOTS of them! And some other animals too.

Brown bear

The bear cubs were so cute and playful.

They had some rides there, the only one Nathan was interested in was the train, until we left then he wanted to ride the bear ride (it was broken anyway so he couldn't).

Not quite as tall as a grizzly bear.

Nathan got to pet and feed the deer. We picked some grass and they ate it out of our hands.

This baby deer really liked Anderson. He kept trying to lick him, and eat him. The deer got AJ's fingers in his mouth at one point for a few seconds. AJ didn't know what to think.

A few days later we drove to Jackson to see Aunt Heather and go to Yellowstone.

Showing Aunt Heather the water in her backyard (that is the Snake River).

Nathan thought Scott's cowbell was pretty fun to play with.

Waiting for the geyser

Old Faithful

Although Nathan seems to be paying attention and enjoying the geyser, he spent most of the time trying to put his feet in the mud off the boardwalk that he was told not too.  He had been talking about the geyser for a couple of months, and when it came down to it, he was more interested in playing rather than watching the geyser. I forgot to get pictures of AJ watching, but I think his mouth was open the whole time.

Beautiful!

I miss these mountains

We had a fun trip to Grand Teton And Yellowstone Parks. I think we are going to try to go again when Bonnie's family gets here next week (since we got a FREE year pass to all National Parks- thanks military).
By the way, it might snow here this weekend- hopefully not, we did not prepare for that!
