Yellowstone

This summer was a busy summer of traveling and the first big trip that we went on was to Cowley, in Northern Wyoming.  A memorial service for Dave's grandma, Sally Holzer, was scheduled during our visit.  Dave's grandma and uncle from Pennsylvania came to Wyoming for the first time as well.  It was fun to  meet some family and take them to see some of the sights of the area.  One place we went to was Yellowstone National Park.  Dave and I have been several times but this was the first trip for the kids.  It was a LONG day of driving but we got to see some interesting sites. Next time we will plan to camp in the Park and not have so much driving to do in one day. I think the trip is best described in pictures so I will describe the pictures in the captions.

At the Park's entrance. Our family along with Alexa, our niece (Dawn's daughter)

The buffalo you would swear is a plant to excite the tourists right inside the gate.

Skipping rocks at Yellowstone Lake.  In the red is Skyler.  He is the son of Dave's Aunt Bobblie.  He is a step son to Bruce so kind of Dave's cousin.

Haylie sitting outside the Old Faithful Lodge.  The inside of this building is beautiful but there were about a million people inside trying to take pictures so I decided to not be one of them!

Old Faithful!

More buffalo.  This is about as close as you want to get when you are taking a picture with a buffalo!

Zander and the buffalo.  He was posing for Dave so that it looked like he was holding a buffalo on his hand from Dave's angle.  I will have to see if I can round up that picture.
