Yellowstone Pictures

These are more pictures of Yellowstone. These first 4 pictures are of the girls at Sylvan Lake. It was featured in Family Fun magazine when when they were doing a story on Yellowstone. It is absolutely gorgeous. After we took these pictures we headed out of Y. to Cody, Wyoming where we ate supper and then headed to Sheridan, Wyoming where we got stuck in the Big Horn Mountains. (previous blog) The drive was beautiful but scary as you can see from the cliff in the middle picture. The next few pics are out of order so I will skip to the water and the steam, this is called the Dragon's Mouth and it is a cave where steam and water blow out all the time and it really sounds like a dragon, breathing smoke out of its mouth. It was loud. It was really cool, but almost a little scary. On the way home across flat S.D. Jeff and I got so bored we played Uno. And here is a picture of our LAST unloading of the van at our last hotel in Mitchell, S.D. on Tues. night. Well, this wraps up our trip. Aren't you sad?

Now that we are home there is nothing exciting happening. We are trying to get ourselves back into the central time zone as our bodies have been a little "jet-lagged" from crossing 2 time zones.

School starts the 20th for the girls but I go back the 15th-17th for in service meetings, that means that my summer is just about over. We have school shopping to do, dentist appts. to cram in, (yes, I know I've had all summer!). I have tons to do in my classroom yet! My sister is coming with her kids this next week and she has volunteered to help me! Jenna has volleyball camp this next Monday-Thursday and I am volunteering as an assistant coach so I will be there for that. My dad is going to buy a pony at the Sale-Barn on Monday so we will go down right after volleyball camp to meet this new member of the family. The girls can't wait.

Thanks for tuning in and reading about our vacation. I wish you would have all been there to enjoy it with us. It was memorable!
