Grand Teton Natl Park and Yellowstone NP

-
Every morning at Dick and Maggie Scarlett's house, we would find elk in their neighborhood having breakfast.  Many days we would see the whole herd of 40 elk.

 Here's Mom in front of the Snake river and the Tetons.
 
Lovely Mt. Moran behind Jackson Lake.

The Tetons again along with the Cathedral group.

A lovely little gift that we received from a passing trucker north of Dubois.  It actually shattered glass into the car on my lap!

Next we went up to Yellowstone and saw the lovely Canyon there.

We saw at least 4 buffalo on the road in Hayden Valley--it was so cool!

 My favorite hot springs pool--Sapphire pool

Old faithful was predicted to go off at 1:36pm (+/- 10 minutes) and this one went off at exactly 1:36pm! pretty amazing predictability.

Boiling mud pots

Mom and another cool colored pool

The beautiful terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs

A gorgeous sunset on Lake Yellowstone

These pictures are stunningly beautiful! I bet it was amazing to wake up and see a herd of elk every morning! :) I'm sorry to hear about the glass landing on your lap -- how scary! I'm glad you're okay. It looks like an amazing trip except for that!

Amy's braces

On January 6th, I got braces from my orthodontist, Dr. Edwards. He said I will be wearing them for about 3 years. My teeth were very sore for the first few days, and all I could eat was stuff like yogurt, soup and other soft food. He tightens the wire on my braces every month, so I will expect to be sore for a couple days each month. This is a picture of me before I got my braces: And this is a picture of me with my braces:

 Mom and I went up to the northwest corner of our beautiful state of Wyoming.  First, we stopped overnight in Grand Teton Natl Park .   it was a very short cabin (and an original settler's one) it was a little smoky. Next we drove to Mammoth Hot Springs in the NW corner of Yellowstone NP. we had a ton of elk right in front of our cabin! Buffalo everywhere in Lamar Valley, where a few of you went as 4th graders. The bull elk comes into town....ready to fight for his mating ritual Next we went on the BearTooth Highway, which reaches nearly 11, 000 feet and usually has mountain goats. Next we headed down to Old Faithful and the Geyser basin.  it was truly amazing! one of our favorites--Sapphire pool! Some of you may remember Riverside Geyser Good Old Faithful....erupts every 90 minutes, but only lasts about 3-5 minutes a new find--Castle Geyser--it went off for 20-25 minutes! our cabin at Old Faithful Lodge Our last stop was in the Canyon and Falls area ....
