Yellowstone

I have never been to Yellowstone, so I was excited when we decided to go there one day as part of the reunion.  I did not know how big Yellowstone is.  You could be there for days and not see everything.

An especially cool area was the paint pots geysers.  These were beautiful colors.

We could see blue and brown and red and orange and all kinds of beautiful colors.

This geyser does not go off very often.  Se we were lucky that it went off as we were traveling by.  A bunch of people rushed down to get closer to it.  Now I can say that I have been misted/sprayed by a geyser.

Of course, we needed to see Old Faithful while we were there.

While waiting for the eruption, which happens about every 70 minutes, we went into the visitors center and the kids got to learn more about geysers and other things in Yellowstone.

The geyser was amazing.  It lasted several minutes.

I thought it looked kind of cool against the cloudy sky background.

While waiting for everyone to gather, the kids made sand/pebble castles.

Some of the grandkids after eating a yummy picnic.

We stopped for some ice cream while heading back to the car.  Adam was nicely fed from everyone's ice cream cone; he got a little messy.

If you see a head cut out board, you have to stop and take a picture.

We saw this as we were leaving.  What an amazing trip to Yellowstone.
More vacation pictures to come.
