Yellowstone - June 1st and 2nd

We drove to West Yellowstone on Monday, June 1st. We went to the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center the next morning. That was the only place we saw bears while we were there.



We also got to see a couple wolf packs. This wolf would come right up to the window. The girls loved to watch him.


As we were driving into Yellowstone, there was a bison next to the road. We were following Brian's parents and missed it. They stopped and we turned around. It was right next to the road! I don't know how we missed it. We were glad we turned around to see it. We didnt' know at the time we we would be seeing tons more! It got to the point where we wouldn't even stop anymore!
Here is a herd of bison.
We stopped at Old Faithful. Because the weather was so cloudy and rainy, it was hard to see. We ended up going back another day (pictures to come in another post!)


We also saw a lot of elk.


Here's Elizabeth sleeping in the car. She fought it for as long as possible every afternoon. She didn't want to miss anything!


Abby had lots of fun!

There were several areas of road construction while we were there. We took a picture of this elk crossing the road. Behind it is a sign that says "EXPECT 30 MIN. DELAYS". We did have to wait for a while a few times, but not because of the elk or other wildlife!


Kimber Family Pictures

The next day we got the whole Kimber family together for pictures. These were lots of fun too!











My mom's flowers in the yard were beautiful!


McPheeters family photos!

We had the whole McPheeters family together to take photos on May 30th. The park was beautiful, but the wind was blowing. So we got some great windblown looks in our pictures. The grandkids were too excited to sit still for long, but we all had fun.


Here's a nice shot of the parents fixing up the kids!

My girls had lots of fun playing with cousins and Dad when it wasn't their turn for pictures.

We made it back!

We just got back from a great trip to visit family in Utah. While we were there, we went to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole, WY. We had a lot of fun and it was great to see grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles and cousins. I will post pictures soon. Thanks to everyone for making our visit so fun!

Abby's Dance Recital

Abby had a dance recital on Monday. She did so well!
She looked so pretty in her pink dance clothes with sparkles in her hair.


Here she is with her class getting some last minute instructions from Ms. Michelle.
They did a tap dance and a ballet dance. Both dances were great!


We were really proud of her, especially because at the recital in December she didn't dance. She has grown up a lot and learned so much this year!
