On September 16-18, our family, along with Bryan and Autumn's,
went on a spur of the moment vacation to Yellowstone.
Our first stop was Bear World.
We were surprised to see an Arctic wolf!
We saw lots of bears! 39 to be exact!
There were also carnival rides. This one -the Spinning Bears- was Bonnie's least favorite.
All the kids having a blast on the Free Fall!
Mommy and Maddie met Scamper's wife.
Jeff made a fast friendship with Porky the pot-bellied pig. Porky followed Jeff around grunting. He knew how to scratch Porky in all the right spots!
The kids in front of the bear cubs.
Kaleb was a little surprised on this one!
Garet takes being behind the wheel very seriously!!!
Maddie is not so sure about this. Camry is always there to hold her hand!!
Mommy and Maddie on the Spinning Bears. Not fun!!
The whole family on the train! Toot-toot!
The highlight of our visit was actually getting to feed the bears!!
Bonnie trying to lure the bears closer to the truck. We had lots of fun
at Bear World! We would recommend it to everyone!!
Maddie decided that these were not her favorite!
Even the diaper must go!
She looked like this all day! So much for the warmer clothes!
Safety pins will be our new best friend!!
Our first stop was Old Faithful.
The kids waiting patiently for the eruption.
There she blows!!
The kids weren't as entertained as the adults with Old Faithful.
Visiting the geysers the next morning.
Garet and Jace at the waterfalls!! Jace gave us some great faces this day!!
Our family at the Yellowstone Grand Canyon.
Seeing some more stinky springs.
Mommy and Maddie at the upper Lower Falls!
It was amazing to be so close to buffalo!!
The smelliest of them all!!
Daddy and Maddie at the waterfalls! We had a great time at Yellowstone!

Garet was so excited to go to the Wooden Cottage Pre-School again this year!!
During the picnic, Maddie explored a stump.
Gizmo, being the chicken that he is, chose to stay in the stroller while we ate.
4-wheeling was not Maddie's favorite part of the outing.
The boys' will convince her, though!!
