Passport Stamps, Yellowstone, and the Zoo!

We have done so many things this past few weeks!  Three weeks ago, we went down to Southern Utah where Olivia hiked her first 11,000 ft mountain, Brian Head Peak!  We also hit up Kolob in Zion National Park and Cedar Break National Monument.  She got two more stamps in her National Park passport!

Then my parents came the following weekend and we all went to Yellowstone!  First, they got to wake up to this sign in our front yard.  We have had a bag a dirt that the garbage man hasn't picked up that has been sitting there for a month. We are lazy bums and haven't done anything about it, but the neighbors (or neibors as they spell it) gave us some encouragement!

Here are a ton of Yellowstone pictures.  Not all of them need explanations.
 FYI that's my brother who one lady at church thought was a high school student.  Nope, that's my brother the psychologist. 


 This is my favorite part in the entire park!  It looks like a painting even in real life.
 Kevin brought his camera and a monocular (singular binocular) to take some extra close pictures.
 Olivia, the mountain climber loves to climb rocks and stand at the top.

This bison came so close to our car we could have pet him if we wanted too!


 Old Faithful!  We got there just in time!

That's all of Yellowstone!  We went to the zoo the next week and Olivia loved it!  Unfortunately Olivia is really into hiding things and we currently cannot locate our camera.  Hopefully another update will come soon!
