We made our annual Yellowstone trip at the end of July. We had such a great time! The weather was great, the company was great and the time together as a family was great. As I said before, we had McKinley with us. It was so nice to have her there to keep Madison company. She balanced us out, two boys and two girls. We did so many fun things. We went to Mammoth hot springs and then up to Gardiner to our favorite restaurant in the whole wide world, Petterino's (I think thats what it is, I get it mixed up with one in Chicago). We eat there every summer. Troy starts craving it about 2 months before our trip. We also eat breakfast by the Madison river every morning. I think Kinney thought we were CRAZY but we have these things that we ALWAYS do. How sad is it that our trip kind of revolves around food. Dinner at Petterino's and breakfast at the river. Thats not it either, everywhere we stopped Troy insisted on icecream, Kinney didn't think that was so crazy!
Other things we did:
- Hikes, Harlequin Lake, Canyon, Tower Falls, etc.etc.
- Swimming in the firehole river
- Skipping rocks in the river
- Old Faithful Young Scientist badge (this took all day, the kids were exhausted after they were done)
- Saw a ton of waterfalls
- Hot pots, dragons mouth is one of their favorites but Eli thinks a dragon really lives in it.
- Saw tons of buffalo and elk, missed a bear by seconds.
- Got eaten by mosquitos
- Stayed in the park at Grant Village right by Yellowstone Lake
I could go on and on. We had so much fun and I am already getting excited to go back next year!
Thanks Kinney for coming with us, we hope we didn't scare you too bad!

Great slide show! It looks like so much fun. We really need to go there with our kids. BTW, you are blogging like crazy. Like, three or four posts in just a couple of days! I love it, keep it up!
I miss YNP. I really miss it. No retro bus tour this year, huh?
Cute pics!
Great photos. Your kids are adorable! Hope you had a great B-day Kelli.
