We we're so excited. I had never been and I was just excited to spend the weekend with my whole family. Thursday after Jake got off work we took the long trek to Montana for West Yellowstone. What would normally be a 5 hr drive took us 7. Between nursing the babe and potty breaks for the three year old it was a little bit longer. We got to the Cabin at 11 and went to bed pretty soon after.
Next day was Friday. We we're originally supposed to go to Yellowstone all day but we were all so tired we decided to stay at the cabin. And later went to a Wolf and Bear exhibit. We ended the night at the cabin with a gorgeous rainstorm, games, and eating junk food.
Highlights of Day 1:
the kids going on a "bear hunt"
Eating my sketchy Chicken Salad
Sitting on the porch watching a summer storm
Playing an inappropriate game of Scattegories
Seeing Amish people everywhere
The Pizza place we ate at
Low Parts of Day 1:
Having an EXTREMELY tired 3 year old
CJ spraining his ankle
paying way too much for the Wolf and Bear exhibit
The next day was all about Yellowstone. It was unbelievably gorgeous. It was so much fun and we definitely saw our fair share of the park. Prepare for a bajillion pictures.

The last day was spent eating, cleaning, and driving. But it still was a lot of fun. Such and incredible trip. Short and sweet but one of the funnest family ones I have been on. Mom says next year Hawaii...we'll see!
