Part I: Grampy's birthday trip to West Yellowstone!

For Grampy's birthday he wanted to go take a little camping trip to West Yellowstone. It was fun. We got to see lots of fun things and enjoy being outside camping! The kids were excited yet a bit nervous to see this big guy walking along our van on our way into the park. 

 They were asking questions about West Yellowstone so grampy found this map and talked about the rules while we were in the park.

 I love all the different colors. It really is amazingly beautiful what this earth creates. Good thing we knew the rules that teal water looks so inviting!

 Karston was VERY protective of his little brother around these hot spots. Jayden is not wearing a skirt. Mom forgot his monkey on a chain backpack at home and apparently that is one thing West Yellowstones gift shops/stores carry. So he ended up wearing momma's sweatshirt as a leash. Worked really pretty well. Only annoying part was continually tying it tighter and tighter so we wouldn't lose this little man!

 Showing off our home made leash. People thought we were pretty creative! Hahahaha!

 Then one day we drove up to the Grand Canyon of West Yellowstone. I didn't even know this place existed. It was beautiful. Maybe I did and just forgot who knows. Either way I enjoyed it and so did the boys.

 Relax Jayden. Mommy wouldn't make you sit somewhere that would cause you to fall. He didn't trust me! He held his breath and leaned forward on this rock till I got him down. Was the best statue EVER!

 The last day of our adventure we went up to Old Faithful. The kids were pretty certain we were taking them to a Volcano and they were pretty nervous until they actually saw what it was.

 Waiting.....and waiting.......and waiting for the BIG event! Its tough when your a little dude to wait that long.

 So Grammy had a hankering for some Ice cream and or Yogurt. So we took a break from waiting and went and got some to enjoy!

 Finally the BIG event! The kids thought it was SO AWESOME! they couldn't believe how high the water kept getting. It was fun seeing their little faces watch in amazement.

 On the way back to the trailer we took a scenic route home. Finally we saw something besides Buffalo.

However that was short lived. The Buffalo made their big come back when we were trying to leave. Apparently they decided to have a sleep meeting and ended up blocking the road. We had two little boys who really had to go potty so that was not a very appreciated road block. Anyways here they come with their babies in tow and all! It was fun to see all of them together. 

 Jayden was so funny when we got back to the trailer he hopped up on the table and started pacing. I asked him what he was doing and he said "I just finking mom"  Alright son sounds good. I asked him what he was "Finking" about and of course the answer was "I don't know."

 We had a great time at West Yellowstone. Karston even made some friends with other kids from California. They really enjoyed riding their bikes all over. :) Now off to part 2 of Grampy's birthday. We are heading to Mill Creek!
