YELLOWSTONE

We are only 4 weeks away from having baby sister, and have lots to do before she arrives. We decided to get a few family outing out of the way before she comes. So we took the girls to Yellowstone, and Stay in Uncle Dan's family cabin located in West Yellowstone. It was awesome, the cabin is nice and only 10 minutes outside the park. The area is so beautiful, and green, and the girls loved sleeping over in the cabin. The first day all they wanted to do is go back and play at the cabin vs. seeing all the animals in the park. This was another relaxing weekend for us, and we got to enjoy mother natures creations, and warm weather.

While we were waiting for the Old Faithful to shoot off, Jamon told a guy sitting next to us that Brant was a photographer from National Geographic, So while the geyser shot off the man into his recorder stated that they were here at Old Faithful with a photographer from the National Geographic, he shook Brant's hand and asked his name. He also said he would look for his photos in the magazine. The only reason why, was Brant had Barrowed his Uncles huge professional lens to take pictures. So he looked like he could be a professional photographer.

We had no luck in seeing any bears in the park so we took the girls to the Bear and Wolf discovery. They enjoyed watching the staff members feed the animals, and playing in the playground.

This mother squirrel entertained the family for about 45 mins. She would take her babies out of one tree and into another. One baby she left hanging by the hole to the new home for about 10 minutes. The baby didn't move for the longest time, then it started to fall but the mother was there to save it. At one point I thought that the mother would attack Brant for being so close to the tree, where she had moved the babies. The four little girls loved watching her, Kels keep talking about how the mother let the baby hang outside the door to their home. But I think the adults were more intrigued by the event, Brant said he took over 100 pictures of it.
