happy mother's day

We bought a trailer and took it for its maiden voyage to West Yellowstone last weekend. It was great! 
We saw many pregnant mommies but no babies.


The boys checked off wildlife they saw, so even a squirrel was really exciting!

We saw theese rock chucks (marmots) playing as we were hiking and we watched them for a nice long time.  They looked like they were having a fun time!


The view was terrific! No crowds at all.

We took the time to pull off to the springs and paint pots this time.  
We hiked to the Old Faithful Observation Point to enjoy the view. This is on our way down.

Josh loves using his walking stick as a pointer.  

We got to see Beehive Geyser because we hung out at the Old Faithful area for so long.  We're enjoying some ice cream here...

Beehive is the tallest geyser in the world. 

On the way down from our hike we did some cave exploring. 




We found two caves. one had a lot of poo in it, so of course we spent most of our time there. 



Josh completed the Young Scientist Program and earned a badge.  

He even checked out the Young Scientist Backpack so he'd have proper scientific tools. 

Here he is by Heart Spring...with a cute little huggy face
It was a long day, and the trip back to West was a nice time to cuddle with their new Seat Pets. 

Conked out!
