Our First Family Vacation

Last weekend, we took our first family vacation with just the three of us. We drove to Jackson Hole, WY and spent 2 nights and then went over to Yellowstone National Park for a day and a night. It was so much fun and Roanin did so well. He loved all the interaction with people and really loved the park. Happy Baby! The three musketeers!

This is the BEAUTIFUL upper falls of the Yellowstone River. We had a small hike to get here....but we all loved it.

Look at Roanin hammin' it up in the pack. He loves riding...especially if it means his parents have to work hard.
It was so cold while we were in Yellowstone. It was September 9th, and it snowed on us in the middle of the day. The temp hovered around 38 all day! Ro Ro stayed warm in his little sweatsuit.
This picture is at the lower falls of the Yellowstone River.

Look at that cargo! Irresistable!

We saw so many buffalo all over Yellowstone. We also saw tons of deer, elk, and even a coyote.


This herd of buffalo was the traffic we had to deal with.

Roanin trying out the saddle at the place where we ate lunch. The saddles were the seats at the bar.
Happy while waiting for lunch.

This was a buffalo carved from stone that was done by a guy name R. Dunsmore Case (as it says on the sign...that is why we took a picture by it).

this roanin character is getting you on the road a lot all of a sudden. if he suddenly makes it possible for you to stay awake through a whole movie we'll know that he's truly changed you in a deep and fundamental way.

Watch out girls there's a new hearbreaker in town, especially in the saddle!
Would love if we could be neighbors!
