Our Yellowstone Adventures

Calista has the most dynamic and sassy personality. She loved Yellowstone!
All she wanted was to see a BEAR. We saw several elk, but everytime we did she would whine and say, "But that's not a BEAR. Lets go to bear country!" She would look through her Bincoluars and claim to see animal after animal and when we asked her to decribe what she saw it was usually a pink bear, with a black tail, named Treeah.

Lance and Calista climbed and climbed...

She loved the rocks...

And they climbed some more. Can you see them way on top?

If Calista looks like she thinks she owns this place, it's because she does. This is the bottom of Uncle Tom's Trail. It is known for its decend into the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. There are 328 very steep stairs and 1/2 mile of trail decending into the Canyon. Calista litterally ran to the bottom, we took some pictures, and then she ran back to the top while mom huffed and puffed and rested about every 50 stairs.
She is a trooper!

Old Faithful. They geysers just never get old. They are amazing.


Doesn't Nelson look like he is having fun? He really was a trooper too. He had a hard time getting decent naps in so he was a little more restless than normal but for taking a 3 month old to Yellowstone for 2 1/2 days, he was wonderful!

Infant Geyser.

Petrified Tree? We think it's a hoax! That's why they lock it up.


The cute little Cabin that we stayed in outside of West Yellowstone. The Cabin may have been the highlight of Calista's trip. Since we have been home she has asked to go back to the cabin at least a dozen times.
