Yellowstone Camping Trip

The kids didn't have school last Thursday and Friday so Brandon decided he was going to take them camping. So he packed them up and they left late Wednesday after gymnastics classes. They drove to Madison campground in Yellowstone and put a tent up in the dark, started the fire and ate smores for their bedtime snack. They fell asleep to the sounds of elk bugling in the back round. It was a very cold night, about 25 degrees, so they snuggled together in one sleeping bag to keep warm.




They got to watch two of them lock antlers...which Easton loved because he keeps telling everyone he saw "two boy elks fighting over the girl elks." You can't tell that his dad likes to hunt can you?
Here they are in front of the Madison River.

And here again in front of Beryl Geyser Basin.


They also stopped by Old Faithful.

That looks like so much fun! You know in all the time I lived there I never did see Old Faithful, pitiful I know. It's so beautiful. When we go camping here we sleep with the cactus and scorpions and rattle snakes. Needless to say....we don't do much camping.
