Catching Up: Yellowstone Part 2

The last 3 days of the trip we stayed actually in Yellowstone National Park. Did you know that Yellowstone is BIGGER than the state of Delaware? That is quite an important detail when planning a trip to Yellowstone because everything you see is 1-2 hours drive away - even when you stay in the park! Although we had a lot of quality time in the car, we definitely cannot complain as literally every mile you drive is filled with amazing sights: mountains, canyons, rivers, waterfalls, geysers, buffalo, elk, deer, etc. Every picture you looks like it could be on the cover of a coffee table book on Yellowstone. Ridiculous.

Funny story: On the way home (driving back to Salt Lake) Josh had to leave early in the morning with his cousin (who had to catch an flight), so I drove our car back with Josh's 2 sisters and Hope. About 30 minutes into our trek out of the park we got a flat tire. Have I mentioned Yellowstone has horrible cell phone reception?! We had no service and were literally stranded. After fifteen minutes of 2 girls fumbling with the tire and a feeble attempt to use the tire jack, a few kind-hearted 60 year-old men stopped to help us. Needless to say we were VERY thankful! 

Either way, it was a memorable trip and we were thankful for a fun week in the midst of a crazy summer. Until next time, Yellowstone!

Vacation with kids....always a crazy adventure!

This is a very common occurence 



Hope got a little sick halfway through the trip...needless to say this was not her best moment. :)
