Yellowstone Excursion

This past weekend Jake and I went with his father and siblings to Yellowstone. We had such a good time. Jake's dad rented a cabin on 20 acres of open space right outside West Yellowstone in Montana. It was so beautiful! I wish we could have stayed a month longer. We would love to have our own cabin up there someday but until then renting is a really good way to go!
On our way up to Yellowstone we passed the Grand Tetons. I'm always amazed at how big they really are.


Here are a couple pictures of the cabin we stayed at. It was beautiful and the surrounding valley was breath-taking.


The first morning there I had to go for a run. It is by far my new favorite place to run outside.

Good Ol' Faithful





While on our Yellowstone excursion we did some fishing. Well everyone but Abbey and I. We prefer to read. I loved this picture of Nick. I think his line is stuck.



Before going out to fish we all practiced on our casting skills. Jake is by far the most talented. He can still fly fish while I attack him!




On our last day in Yellowstone we ran into some Buffalo. It was Nick's first time ever seeing them so that was lots of fun! At one point we were delayed half an hour because of Buffalo on the road.






This picture is for anyone who has ever seen Brett Michaels or the show Rock of Love. I am the girl version of him!! HaHa!




Jake and I in front of the Lower Falls in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The picture doesn't do it justice. It was huge!

We had a really great time in Yellowstone. I can't wait till we can go back again and stay longer!
