For Labor Day this year we decided to go somewhere new. Neither me or Brad had ever been to Yellowstone and decided to it would be fun to go this year. My brother Mike lives in Montana just 1.5 hours away from there and his youngest happened to be getting baptized the same weekend. I also needed to get my maternity photos done so we bundled it all together and had a little road trip.
Thurs. night we rove to Springville and stayed at Brad's brother Scott's house. Friday morning we got up and his wife Luann took my maternity photos (they will be on seperate post).
After the pictures Friday, my mom and step-dad met us and piled in the car with us for the remaining journey.
Friday night we arrived in Montana at my brother Mike's house.
Saturday we went to my nephew's baptism then, Brad and Keith went fishing, and me and the girls went exploring. My SIL's Step-mom was there and taught MaKayla to make Mile High Mississippi Pie:
It was also my nephews birthday, so we had a little party for him that night!
Sunday we got up early, said our goodbye's and took off to Yellowstone. We saw lots of different animals: Buffalo, Elk, Deer, etc. everything but a bear! It was so much fun, but we only got about 1/4 of the way through what we wanted, if you are going there, 3 days is needed to see everything for sure!!
We made sure to see Old Faithful. Brad has always worried that it would stop unexpectedly before he got the chance to go see it, but luckily it is still working!! :) It was so cool and a lot bigger than I thought it would be.
Another cool thing was crossing the continental divide. It was funny cause right there was a pond and all the water held still as if it didn't know wich way to go down the mountain!
Then when we left we passed the Teton's. They are so beautiful, my pictures do not do them justice at all!
Sunday night we stayed in a cute little cabin in Jackson. We then drove down and saw some cool rapids. 
We had so much fun I am we are so lucky to be able to do fun things with our kids. And my parents even survived and still speak to us!
