Yellowstone Trip - Day 1

We took a trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks last week.  It was sort of a reunion with my mom's side of the family, and we had a great time.  We left at 5:30 AM Saturday, June 28th and drove northwest to Ashton, Idaho.  This is where the house was that we stayed in.  It was a beautiful house that slept all 26 of us very well.  It was right on the Henry's Fork of the Snake River and had a huge hot tub, pool table, ping pong table, air hockey table, and outdoor games too.  We arrived at about 4:30 PM on Saturday, making awesome time.  We drove through some beautiful country and the kids were actually in good spirits the whole drive.  On Sunday we stayed around the house, playing inside and outside.  In the late afternoon, we ventured out to Mesa Falls, which is near Ashton.

These are the lower falls.  Quite spectacular.



Here is the whole family at the upper falls.  We got 2 pictures, one where Caleb is completely turned around, and this one where Maya looks less than happy.
