Out of all the years Rachel has been to Yellowstone, she has always wanted to see a moose and never got to see one. But on this trip, Juan's eagle eyes spotted one! We looked through our binoculars and it was just a little bit bigger than the speck we saw without them. The people behind us stopped to look too and they had a spotter scope. Since we spotted the moose, they let us see it through their scope and it was so close up that we could see it chewing and we could even see its eye! It was so cool. Rachel was especially excited since she finally got to see her moose-and close up at that!
Here we are setting up camp before hitting the park.
Jr. and Bryan are trying to start the fire for lunch!
When it was dark at our campsite, we could hear
the wolves howling! The second night we were there
they were really close and could hear them well. As
it turned out, they walked around the edges of the
campgrounds!
Trevor, Karri, Rachel, Bryan, Antonio, and Jr. in
front of Old Faithful!
The three siblings with Old Faithful blowing.
We took the trails around Old Faithful and
saw some pretty cool turquoise and orange
bubbling geyser pits that smelled like rotten
eggs.
Even though this elk looks crazy it wasn't- although
it was just strolling the streets (in Mammoth) like
there was no tomorrow. There were a couple of
them doing that and on the grounds of one of the
buildings we went in, they had some kind of chicken
wire around the flowers so the elk wouldn't eat them!
Here is the Flores family on the boat we rented.
We are on Yellowstone Lake.
Here is this beautiful waterfall (Upper Falls?)
From here, the waterfall looks hundreds of feet
high from the top to the bottom. But when we
went to the top of it, it didn't look that high or
very far down at all!
We got to see lots and lots of buffalo. Here is
a close up of one. Since we saw so many of them,
we got to see them doing various activities like
running, rolling in dirt, and even taking care of
the grounds (if you know what I mean).

You two make me jealous! Did you just stay one night, Friday night? How is your baby girl doing?
SPECIAL REQUEST: I would like a "spotter scope" view of Bryan, please. Amanda states, "Oh GOSH, it's rubbing off!"
It looks like you had a really fun trip. I haven't been to Yellowstone since I was 13. It's weird that I have lived in Rexburg for 3 years and haven't gone up to Yellowstone.
