Pictures Anyone...?

Finally I have some actual pictures to show everyone rather than the ones taken with the iPhone (not that it didn't do a good job, it did). Seeming as I still have packing to do for my next trip, which we leave tomorrow, and I am so very tired, this is going to be a post with little commentary. Hope you all enjoy!

The first animal we saw as we entered the park was some antelope. They were very cute and saw them just about every day.


Anoher antelope, just chilling on an island.

On day two and three we were blessed to see a bald eagle! I believe it was the same one each day. It was pretty cool, I had never seen one outside of the zoo before.


A buffalo. There were lots of Buffalo and some right up by the road. There was one walking through a picnic area where people were eating... I don't think I could eat sharing a table with a 2000 lb animal.


Okay, so we were driving down the road and there were a bunch of cars pulled over looking in this open filed and at first we couldn't see anything, then I see this big back ball start walking. Not only was it walking, but it was walking upright on two legs... my first thought was we have found Big Foot! I was so excited but didn't think it could be real. So we got out the camera to take its picture. After we got its picture we zoomed in on his face... well click on the picture so you can really see the mystery creature and let me know what you think... (I have my theory, I want to hear yours.) It was amazing. He was dancing around, acting just as you would imagine Big Foot would! This was worth the trip!



This is a little water fall but not just any water fall. This water is boiling hot! They call the river Fire Hose River as it is hot from the geyser water.


The beautiful orange rock. I just love the true colors!


So we were not the only ones who had the idea to come to Yellowstone this weekend, apparently the President did too. We believe this is his helicopter. There were a few that flew over but this was the largest and most presidential looking of them all. Unfortunately he wasn't there long, so we didn't get to see him.

Old Faithful!


Mesa Falls.

The family at Mesa Falls. Sadly Mr. Trent is not in this picture as he is the one taking it.

If anyone would like to see more pictures you are welcome to come over and view them at our house. It takes too long to upload them on the blog, so this is as many as you get.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as we enjoyed out trip.

We will be leaving to Cali tomorrow evening and will hopefully have some updates from there. We are busy busy this August and are loving every minute of it!

Until Next Time...

We're Home!!!!

WE ARE HOME!!!! Today we got home and are happy to be sleeping in our own bed. Our poor puppies are still at "camp" until tomorrow morning when Trent can pick them up. Apparently Mountain View is not open on Sunday's so we couldn't go and get them when we got home.

We are so tired but wanted to share a few more pictures of our trip...

So day three in Yellowstone:

As we drove back to the cabin on day two, we passed a few other places we wanted to see so we went back to them with Suzanne's parents on day three. There were some really pretty geyser basin's and one that could go off at any time. The last time it went off I believe was 1985 and they cannot predict its next eruption. It was so beautiful but it was a little chilly that day so there was a lot of fog. You cannot see the bright colors in the pictures, but you can use your imagination!




This geyser (picture above and below) was a rainbow of colors... it had this bright orange around then a little bit of yellow with the center a beautiful turquoise. I wish it was not as cold so the colors would transpose to pictures better. It has made me want to pain a room bright orange with turquoise accents!! Maybe you will see that in a few months ;)


Day four:

The drive home. So Cort said that if we took a small detour we could see another beautiful waterfall. Boy, was he right. Below is a picture of Mesa Falls. It was not the steepest waterfall but it was pretty wide. The side of the canyon was so green as it was covered in moss, the contrast of the blue water and green mountain side was amazing. Apparently three men went over these falls in a rubber raft not too long ago and survived. I guess some people get to experiences the feeling of the rail actually breaking (read the previous post if this references doesn't make sense).


We will be home for the next few days before we head off to Cali!!! Before we go we will update you with a few more pictures. A sneak peak of what to come... Antelope.. Bald Eagle.. Buffalo.. Pres. Obama.. and even ........ Big Foot (no joke)!!!!

Until Next Time...

Brief Yellowstone Update

Day one in Yellowstone:

We drove around to find Suzanne's parents favorite geyser only to find it is no longer active. It was very disappointing for the family but there was much else to see there. We cannot exactly remember what it was called where this pictures was taken, but it sure was fun!


Day two in Yellowstone:

Suzanne's father really wanted to go to Upper and Lower Falls. The fun part about seeing Lower Falls is you can walk right up to the "Brink" of the falls. Below is a picture.



Now Cort, Suzanne's father, played a mean trick not only on her, but the people surrounding. He had Suzanne come over to the railing (which you can see in the picture above) and lean over as far as she could. Then he told her... "now imagine the railing breaking and you falling". That was not very "fun" and Cort scared a few people around them. (That was pretty funny.)

Below is a picture of the outlook from Lower Falls. Again, I cannot imagine what heaven will be like if earth is this pretty! The rainbow, the mountians, the sky, it does not look real!


Trent and Suzanne at the end of the day waiting for Old Faithfull to start!


Old Faithful!

Until Next Time...

Fess Up!

Someone has been stealing our socks, and I want to know who! This is a collection of Suzanne's socks...nay, Suzanne's un-matched socks! Yes, there are about 10 variations on tan, and none of these socks are exact matches. It's crazy! We did the smart thing with Trent's socks awhile back, we found one type of sock he liked to wear everyday, threw out the rest, and bought a bunch of the same socks so they all match each other. This huge variation on socks was discovered as we were packing for our trip to Yellowstone tomorrow. We'll report on that when we get back.

Until Next Time...

Phoebo!

You voted, it's been decided, Phoebo is the name of Suzanne's new Betta fish. Had to get that out of the way because we have a few trips coming up in the next couple weeks we'll have to write about. In the meantime, here's a video of Phoebo taking a swim.


Until Next Time...
