Pinedale and Yellowstone

For fathers day dad, mom, Greg Jr. (he was sick) and Morgan met me at Bevin and Sara's house in Pinedale. Then after fathers day weekend, me, Morgan, Sara, Bevin, Carter, and Avery took a trip to Yellowstone. Lets just say I could use a long break break before I see Bevin's family again......no really it was great fun and there were no big fights that happened with anyone.......I just did not get any sleep :-) It was super fun and we got some good pictures.

This picture is at the top of a mountain where there is a great view of the Wind River Range.


We took a drive to get to a lake but the road was closed for tree removal so this is as close as we got. It has now been two times Bevin has tried to get me and Sara to this lake and each time our plans get foiled...first time it was a blizzard and then this time???? Truman for sure!!!
On our walk home from the park.
We all took a walk.....we walked to the post office, then the library, then had lunch at the park, and then jogged all the way back home.
At the Pinedale park.

Morgan and Carter playing at the park.
Leaving for our walk/jog.
Just got to Jackson....the start of our Yellowstone adventure.
All the Cox cousins....oh wait Will is missing.
Last day of our trip back from Yellowstone at the Cody dam...no one else wanted pictures so me and Sara just jumped out to get one.
This is at the Dragons Hot Pot....the smoke and the sound it makes sounds like a dragon.
The whole gang at my favorite place inside Yellowstone - Artists Point.




The falls we saw right before we saw our first grizzly bear.


This was my favorite place of the whole trip.....Mesa Falls in Idaho. We had to drive an hour out of the way but it was sure worth it. If you ever get a chance to get to Mesa falls you should for sure go and see it.
If I don't name a picture it is because I don't remember what the places were called. Sara has the book that names them. She was the smart one who ordered a book that shows all the places to see in Yellowstone and the surrounding areas.

Moose falls....one of my favorites because you could swim in the pool below the falls. People were swimming when we got there. We did not want to swim because we just got on the road for our trip and I am sure the water was freezing.
Entering Grand Teton National Park. The lady taking the picture sure did not know how to get things centered???
