Yellowstone & Bear World








Recently we went to Yellowstone with my in-laws. On the way there we had to pull over just outside of Island Park because it was raining so hard we couldn't see and the trailer was fish-tailing due to the standing water on the road. We had to wait about 15 minutes. We then headed off again. When we got into west Yellowstone there were trees blown over and roofs ripped off buildings, emergency responses had barely got there. We didn't think anything of it. We figured the building was being remodeled and trees fall over all the time in the forest. The next day we found out it was a tornado. Thank god we had to pull over or we probably would have been it. We then headed to Yellowstone Park. The girls loved seeing all the wildlife. Peyton called everything "eeellllllllllkk." It was cold (ran into sleet and were told one night not to be surprised to wake up to snow) but awesome. We took the girls fishing at Island Park Reservoir. It was cold and we didn't catch anything. Could of been we were only there 20 minutes because it was cold, rainy, and windy. Ash didn't want to leave. She would of stayed there all day if we let her. On the way home we stopped by Bear World. The girls liked the bears but loved feeding all the animals.
