Yellowstone

We decided this year to make it a point and take a couple days as a family and head to Yellowstone during the free days.  Which really in my mind is the best time to go as it is just after the park opens and wildlife is awakening from the long harsh winter so are fairly abundant for viewing pleasure.  I think we saw everything but moose this visit from marmots to wolves lots beauty.  Poor Kelda on crutches was such a sport about the trip.  She was in pain with her foot as we really are beginning to wonder is she didn't fracture or do some ligament damage.  Anyhow it was a gorgeous day and it was great and much needed family days outing:)

Here are a few photos from the day...Enjoy!!
