We had a really fun family vacation to Yellowstone. I kept telling Mike that this is was real American families do. We stayed at his parent's little a-frame cabin just outside Yellowstone in Island Park. The kids thought the cabin was so cool. That first day we played around (lots of pine cone wars), visited a natural spring and feed massive trout, and roasted s'mores. Mike has such fond memories of this place that I am so happy that our kids could partake of the same fun.
The next day we went to Yellowstone. We did the Geyser route. This was not the most kid-friendly idea. Sam refused to stay in the stroller and wanted to walk himself. He would weave across the path, getting so close to the edge. And then he would stick his head over the ledge to get a closer look of the boiling water. It definitely made me nervous, along with all the Asian tourist who were trying to help herd him away. We saw buffalo and elk. It was so gorgeous to go in the Autum. The colors were so warm and beautiful.
The last day we played around the cabin more. On the way home, we stopped by Mesa Falls and walked around. It was a shorter vacation, lots of driving, but it was really fun to just be together the four of us. Plus we all slepts so soundly, which really makes for a great vacation.
