Yellowstone!

We took a family trip to Yellowstone with my dad's whole family last week. It was so fun, the only downside was that Scott couldn't come(he had to work) so I was stuck taking care of two kids by myself. Luckily, my family likes them, so they were kept pretty entertained.

The biggest adventure happened on the way there, Carlee and Spencer were following us in their car, they had a couple of kids riding with them, and their car broke down! So we waited by the side of the road for a couple of hours(did I mention we were in the middle of nowhere-with no cell phone service) Luckily a road worker came and called a tow truck for them, which took their car back to civilization while we carried on into the wilderness with 11 people and an insane amount of luggage in an 8 passenger car.
Once we got there we had a blast, looking at all the animals and nature, etc. We went to old faithful on the last day, pretty cool. Well, that's our trip, here are some pictures!

The Breakdown

This guy was walking down the road while we were waiting. He was weird, but nice. Yes, that is a cross he was carrying. He said that's all he does is walk around carrying the cross to spread his message.

There was a buffalo right next to our cabin

We saw LOTS of buffalo

Bailee's favorite thing to do was hang out the window yelling "Come here animals!"

The buffalo was running straight at our car. If you ask my dad about it, he'll tell you he almost died.

Whitney got a hold of my camera and decided to hold a photo shoot for herself

My dad wanted to go fishing, but he didn't want to get his pants wet...

That trip looks like so much fun. That buffalo kinda freaked me out! I will have to ask Toddsy-wadsy about his "near-death experience". but the best one is him with his pants jacked up SO high! I have never been to yellowstone, that made me want to!
