We had a fun few days up in Yellowstone last week. We went up with three other couples and their families and rented a cabin in West Yellowstone to stay in. We took snowmobiles and just had a blast. One day was spent in Yellowstone park and the rest of the days we would ride the trails around the area. It was a great time and we had a hard time leaving. Here's a few pictures from the fun we had.
This is part of the group in Yellowstone.
This picture was taken on top of one of the mountains. It was a place called two top and the snow and wind made the trees have some of the most amazing formations. People called the trees "ghost trees" because of the way the snow made them look. That was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen.

Eating dinner in the cabin. The girls did a great job with the food.






The girls getting ready to head out on a night ride. It put a new meaning to the phrase girls night out. Night rides were a lot of fun.




Taking a rest on one of our rides.





A big elk we saw on our ride through Yellowstone. We saw quite a few different animals throughout the day.






We rode in to Old Faithful and watched it erupt.
















Here is one of the waterfalls we saw on our ride in West Yellowstone. The scenery was unbelievable.









Here's the cabin where we stayed. We had a big group but there was plenty of room. It was a nice cabin and we hated to leave.










At the bear and wolf discovery center they had quite a few wolves that you could check out. The wolves would come right up to the window and look at you. The kids got a kick out of watching them.











This was one of the bears at the bear and wolf discovery center. They would bury food under logs and rocks and then let the bears loose to find the food. They are sure impressive animals.

Welcome back....I'm glad there wasn't any fatalities with the snowmobiling part! Bailey loved the picture of the wolf....she thinks that would be cool to see, and the bear scares Jessey :)
