Yellowstone & Teton

-

 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....





Overall, we had a wonderful 5 days in our gorgeous National Parks in Wyoming!

Like Maria said, these pictures are gorgeous! How cool that you saw a new geyser, too, and it went off for 25 minutes! It sounds like an amazing trip. What a great way to celebrate your anniversary!

Fantastic pictures!! I love the elk and the buffalo -- I love, love, love the pictures of both of you, too! Thanks for sharing! I'm glad you were able to do something together and were still able to travel, though the pandemic has changed your plans. You two are amazing and great examples to me :)

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:
