Highlights of our National Park Trip

Now that we've been back from vacation for a couple of weeks, I'm finally getting around to posting some pictures and highlights of our trip. We drove all day on Friday, August 26th up to Grand Teton National Park. For those of you who have never been there, the Tetons are a stunning mountain range. We enjoyed 2 nights and one day in the Tetons before heading up to Yellowstone. Shaun had never been to the Tetons or Yellowstone so it was fun to experience everything again with him. The last time I was there was in 1998. Here are the highlights of our trip in pictures.

Stinks like rotten eggs

Grand Prismatic Spring is an awesome wonder but pictures just can't do it justice!


This was about the extent of our wildlife viewing....somewhat disappointing

Steamboat Springs

After we finished viewing the National Parks we headed up to Bozeman, MT to visit the family of Shaun's youth pastor from high school, Tyd Rogers. Tyd and his wife were also the couple who did our premarital counseling and Tyd performed our wedding ceremony, so it was really great to see them. We headed home 6 days after we left and were happy to return to our little girls!
