Cabin in Yellowstone

These pictures are of the cabin we stayed in at Yellowstone. It was absolutely gorgeous! It was a house. A full kitchen, 2 full bathrooms, washer and dryer, hot tub, wrap around porch, 4 bedrooms. We got here Sunday night later than we wanted and hauled all our stuff in. (by the way, we calculated how many times we dragged our suitcases etc. in and out of hotels/cabins and it was 11 times!, so 11 x's in and 11x's out!=22 times) I went upstairs to put our suitcases there and I noticed something out of the corner of my eye run across the room, my first thought was MOUSE! I stood there a moment and it ran out from underneath the bed, it wasn't a mouse it was a baby chipmunk!!! I yelled down to Jeff and the girls, and to make a LONG story short...Jeff was sitting on the kitchen counter with the girls while I was up jumping up and down on the bed trying to get it to run out, down the steps, and out the door. I heard Jenna say, "man, mom sure is brave!" Please note...Jeff is on the kitchen counter with the girls! He says later that he was just trying to help them feel secure and not scared. Yeah, right! Anyway, we couldn't get the critter to go out so we had to call somebody, we didn't think that we would get anybody to come help us b/c at this time it is around 10p.m. and this cabin area is out in the middle of nowhere, but a man did come, (the man on the floor looking under the bed), now scroll down to the next picture....



This is Jeff..."helping" the man get the chipmunk out from under the bed! Notice he is hugging a Barbie pillow! We (meaning the man and I-not Jeff) did get the chipmunk out, who by the way was very cute, and all was well, but it was quite humorous. Later Jeff said..."ya know, I just get really tired of having to protect all of you girls all the time, it gets really weary!" I gave him a look...... and laughed!
