Camping in Yellowstone

Though we had a lot of fun this summer, the frosting on the cake by far was our trip to Yellowstone. We planned this trip for 6 months and we're sober excited about this adventure. We were originally making this a combo-family camping trip but sadly a month prior to the trip the other family wasn't able to make it, so it ended up just being our family- couldn't ask for it to be any better! We decided to rent a 5th Wheel trailer in Jackson Hole- little kids in bear infested territory, just seemed like the best idea. (which ended up being a wise choice as there was a bear attack not far from where we were camping.)
The trip like most memorable family trips started out to be a flop slightly- cold, rainy, and no animals out! However, the weather turned in our favor and the animals came out to play! IT WAS GREAT! We were able to see most of the park, lots of animals and all the famous hot springs- Mammoth and Old Faithful. Luke called Old Faithful the "rocket ship geyser," love his 4 yr old mind!
Kevin and Luke tested their luck last fishing in Yellowstone- sadly they didn't catch anything, but got good practice. We got out of the car and explored some of nature on little "hikes". It was a great fun filled weekend full of memories , GORGEOUS scenery, and great family time before the summer came to a close!
