Our trip to Mesa Falls and Yellowstone

My parents came to visit from Arkansas at the end of May. While they were here, we took them to Mesa Falls and Yellowstone. That was a long day. Anyway, here are some pictures that we took.

That far off speck that you see is a bear (the one just in front of the white van).


I had to include a picture of Old Faithful!


We saw a lot of buffalo. They seemed to like the road quite a bit. It took a little while to get around them.


Here we are at the upper Mesa Falls. My mom is taking the picture.


The boys had a lot of fun. Do you see the rainbow? There was actually a double rainbow. It was pretty neat.

Catch up

Ok, so I have been horrible at blogging. I'll be playing a little bit of catch up here. Just some fun pictures since we have moved.


Here are some fun pictures of the kids helping Brian with the huge piles of dirt in our yard.



I think maybe she didn't like riding on the tractor. What do you think???


They did have a blast playing in the dirt. The piles were just too much fun!

Here are the big piles that were in our front yard.


Here are the piles that were in our back yard.

Thankfully, our piles are spread out all over the yard, we put the sprinkler system, picked most of the rocks, planted grass seed, and have been watering it since the beginning of June. The rain that we have had has taken care of most of the watering. Now that it's nice again, we're back to using the sprinkler system.

Thank you Brian for all of the work that you have done! I'll try to post more soon so I can catch up.
