Yellowstone

The next day we went and had a nice breakfast and then we headed for Yellowstone.I took this picture as we entered Teton National Park. We made many stops and we drove a lot but the kids had a lot of fun looking for animals and the views were breath taking.

This waterfall at Yellowstone was so beautiful.

And the highlight of our trip.

Yes it was a grizzly bear!!!

He was a 2 1/2 year old bear that had been hurt by another bear. We were all really excited to see him. He was only about 100 yards from us. We also saw Elk, Deer, Moose, Coyote, Hawks , Geese and Buffalo.

Buffalo and a baby Buffalo

Hot springs.Old Faithful

It was a really fun trip with amazing things to see.

Jackson Hole

On Friday night we drove down to Jackson hole with Jeremy's parents. On Saturday we went to main street for a parade and then walked around looking at different stores and art galleries.Then we drove over to Jenny lake.It was so beautiful.We rode the boat across the lake and back. The kids loved it.

That night we went to the Bar J wranglers.It was really fun. We arrived early so we could get a good seat.The only problem we were not the only ones with that idea.It was good it gave us lots of time to look around at all the fun things they have on the ranch. We rode on a horse carriage. The kids loved it. The horse's names were Bert and Ernie .Then we went back to our seats for a really yummy dinner and fun show.

Piano recital

On Sunday Brooke had her first piano recital.She played the song Quiet River.We were so proud of her she did a really great job.
