Yellowstone

The day after Anne's birthday party (I'll post those pics soon) we all headed off for Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park. We flew into Jackson Hole and drove the rest of the way to the park arriving at 11:00 that night. Exhausted, we crashed into bed and began sleeping right away. Papa woke up at 5:45am the next morning while the rest of us remain comatose. He was so excited he didn't want to miss anything and he didn't. On his walk that morning he came face to face with a grizzly bear! The bear didn't seem to interested in him he said so he made it back to the cabin safely, thank goodness. It would have been awful to lose Papa on the first day! We had so much fun seeing all the beautiful scenery and animals. There were plenty of "bussalo," elk, and chipmunks running around, but the most exciting were the black bears and wolves we spotted. Anne's favorite were the "bussalos." Papa and Scott went white water rafting in Montana while Gra'ma, Anne, and I went hiking and played by the river. It was a whirlwind trip. We had so much fun and can't wait to go back for a visit!
