Yellowstone

Tyler had an appraisal to do in Bozeman, MT so at the last minute we decided we would all load up and go! We needed a  little break anyway. Tyler and his parents lived in Bozeman for the first couple years of his life, he doesn't really remember anything from living there but I'd never been to Montana so it was a fun little adventure for us. We got there and Tyler got the info and pictures he needed and then we headed for the hotel I picked out over the internet... I was a little embarrassed when we got there and it was right next to a truck stop. The hotel wasn't too bad but the scenery and noisy semi-trucks were pretty lame. I think hotels.com needs to do a better job of describing the location. Oh well it was all part of our adventure. We ate at Famous Dave's, a steakhouse, which was pretty good. Parker was quite the flirt with our waitresses and soon we had a couple more waitresses and even a waiter (guys don't usually clamor over babies) hovering over our table and admiring him. 

On our way to Idaho Falls the next day we decided to continue our adventure and drive through Yellowstone- neither of us have ever been (except when Tyler was a baby). We didn't realize we had five hours of driving through the park in store for us but it was actually a lot of fun. It was a windy 40 * through out the park so we made all of our photo shoots as short as possible. Here are some of our adventures.... 

The beautiful canyon and water fall.

During our hour wait for Old Faithful to go off. Parker wouldn't let me hide him in his blanket to keep him warm. He insisted on looking around. He is a very curious little one!

Finally! It was worth the wait though. So cool!

The small falls.

The sweet Bison/Buffalo (don't know the difference) we saw. We were so excited, he was walking down the road like he owned the place. A little too close for my comfort, especially when he stopped and stared at us.

Our chilly picture in the canyon. It was soooo cold but Parker was warm all snuggled with Dad in his sweatshirt. We weren't really prepared for 40* weather. I was wearing flip flops! Apparently in Yellowstone it goes straight from summer to winter.
