Yellowstone-- Day Two

Day Two of our trip to Yellowstone started EARLY by my standards. The park had closed a main road due to a fire and was only letting cars through at certain times of the day. It was a two hour drive from camp to this pass, so we woke everyone up and left the trailer by 5 a.m. Everyone slept until we got to Yellowstone Falls just after the sunrise. Later we learned that they had opened the road, so our early morning wasn't necessary after all. The sunrise was worth it though.

Smiles early in the morning, even though it was dang COLD!!!

Precious Picture of Tabytha braving the cold weather all bundled up in her hat and car seat! What a trooper she has been this summer!

Rare picture of Jer and I from the perspective of Baylee.
A lady totally freaked out because I set Taby's car seat on this overlook. I guess it was a little stupid. Since it was a sheer drop off down below. O-well, give me the mommy of the year award I probably deserved it!
Happy...Too Happy in the morning.

The girls getting their Jr. Ranger Patches. This badge was actually hard to get. They really worked and had to learn something about Yellowstone to get it. They all completed a workbook to earn their badges. I keep telling Jeremy that it's things like the Jr. Ranger programs that he and his family did growing-up that made the Green's so smart. The Yost's never did things like that, and well........the joke goes on.

Our five o'clock morning is catching-up with Maggy. She is pouting because she's hungry and has "walked enough." She has probably walked 4-5 miles today....

I'm tired and refuse to go on!

A break along the trail, having a snack and refreshing Maggy! Doesn't she looked refreshed?

About twenty minutes after the snack break! The smile returns and we continue to walk, and walk, and walk.

Almost at the end of our time in Yellowstone a nice family picture.

Jeremy driving us back to camp. We are tired, and hungry, and ready for bed, and I am secretly hoping there are no elk to look at on the way home.

We meet a nice older couple from Texas today. They called us the cute red headed family. They seemed to show-up everywhere we went. Every time commenting on how good our little girls were. What a fun day we had.
