Yellowstone National Park vacation pics

There were buffalo everywhere! We got to see them up close and personal.
I am horribly scared of heights but the views were just awesome. Scott thought it was funny I didn't want to get close to the sides when we were up high.



The sulfur pits were quite stinky! The kids quickly walked by them complaining about the smell all the way.

The lake was beautiful! All Lucas could think about was fishing.

I took this leaving the park. We didn't get to see part of the park because it was closed due to snow but what we saw was awesome.

All the roads going in and out and around Yellowstone looked just like this. All the trees lined the roads. It was so hard to come back to flat Kansas after seeing all the beatiful views.
Lucas actually let me take a picture of him in front of Old Faithful. The kids didn't like waiting for the water to spray out. It happens about every hour.

Old Faithful was the last thing we saw in the park.
Addison was all decked out in her winter gear for us to watch Old Faithful.
We did get to see a bear!

And we got to see elk.
This is one of my favorite pics I took of the falls.

This is a view of the falls without the trees in the way. It is still beautiful.

Another picture of the lake.

We saw thousands of buffalo. And lots of baby ones too.

More stinky sulfur pits.


This is what Addison did as we walked by the sulfur pits. She got quite a few giggles.

We were walking around the streams. We liked looking at the rapids.
Addison and I were sitting along the bridge checking out the views. It is one of the first things we saw coming into the park.
