Yellowstone 2009

We went on our annual Yellowstone trip last weekend. It was quite an interesting trip this time! First of all we decided that we shouldn't take two 1 year olds in the car for that long. They didn't have too much fun!! Really they were pretty good but it was a tone of work for Mindi and I!! We decided that next year they might have to stay home with grandmas!!! The weather was awesome and the fall leaves were georgeous! When we got there we found out the west entrace was closed and we were staying in West Yellowstone on Sat. night so we had to detour down by Old Faithful. That is quite a detour! Then we also found out there was a big fire there too so they were closing another main road off and on. We got in but we weren't sure if we were going to be able to get out!! Not good with the babies!! If we would have got stuck in, the only way to West would have been to go to Bozeman, a 6 hour detour!!! Mindi and I were very nervous about that, but not the boys, they didn't care!! Of course they didn't, they were in the front without the screaming children!!!! Luckily after driving around all day we were able to get to West. What a circus!!! All in all it was a great time. I'm already looking forward to next year!!!! Maybe kid free? We'll see. The fire was so cool to see!!! That was probably the coolest thing we saw!!!! Thanks Gibbs family for another great trip!! It's a great tradition!!
