Visiting Yellowstone

We wanted one last "Hurrah" with our friends Dave & Laura before we packed up and moved to the other side of the country, so we decided to go to Jackson Wy/the Tetons/Yellowstone National Park. We've been to Jackson before, and loved it, but we've never had a good view of the Tetons or been to Yellowstone before.
I was expecting bumper to bumper traffic moving at rush hour speeds of 0-5 mph while every dude and his brother took a zillion pictures of one mangy moose munching willow twigs on the side of the road. We didn't see much wildlife, but what we did see was very cool.

There she blows!

It was really amazing. The plume of water got at least 40-50 feet in the air.

Here's the rest of the pictures from the trip. I'm more interested in getting them online in the short amount of time that I have than I am in waxing poetic on all the neat things we saw. Sorry. :-p
If you have kids too, you'll understand.


I like getting my silhouette in the shot. It's a picture of me without me actually being in the picture.

 Please do not attempt to swim in the boiling water. You will come out looking like bacon.

 Hello!



 Bad Ryan! No! Didn't you read the sign?

Actually the water wasn't hot at all right here. It did give him a little bit of an electric shock, which was kind of weird.

Bison, wolf and coyote?



 Hello again. :)
 The Tetons.
 This cabin is just outside of Jackson Hole, WY. It's in one of the Rocky Balboa movies, but as I'm not a Rocky fan, I couldn't tell you which one.

 If you gotta point, point decisively.
 Hey, Mom!

This trip was short but great and I'm so glad we were able to spend it with such good friends. Love you guys!

Same story with this post. Gotta get the pictures!

Caden's First Birthday

This post is more of a filler at the moment. My computer ate the pictures I took of Caden's birthday. Fortunately, there's another copy of those birthday pics. I just have to find a way to get them.
