Yellowstone & Camping

We've had some rough camping trips the last few times we've gone but this camping trip was lots of fun. The first day, was freezing and I just didn't anticipate the cold nor did I pack for the cold/wet temperatures. Luckily, we bought new sleeping bags before and were nice and warm all night.

We went with Paul's brothers and their families. We spent the day looking at geysers, animals (buffalos and elk) and playing. The kids had a blast playing with their cousins. It was a nice way to end our summer.

 These are ones of the boys... love them!

Kade's explanation of why Yellowstone is called "yellowstone" after he heard the ranger's explaination {this is his version of the story with no coaching...}.

Paul: Why is it called Yellowstone?
Kade: Because of the Yellow river.
Paul: Why is the river yellow?
Kade: Because all of the Indians peed in the water.
