Yellowstone Trip #2

We just got back from our second trip to good ol Yellowstone in about a month and a half.  Going there twice in two months you would think would just be repetitive but it was fun to see how different both families were with the vacation.  This vacation was more of a shopping, little site seeing, and relaxing trip.  We were able to go see Old Faithful again and saw a few animals like buffalo, Elks and an Eagle. We stopped off a few places, but our favorite place was the Firehole. We didnt really think we would get to it this trip so we didnt bring our water shoes and we quickly regretted not packing them just in case. The firehole was awesome, soo much fun! For those of you that dont know what the Firehole is.. its a river where you can jump off rocks into the water, there are rapids you can jump into and it will push you down the river (safely) and then there is a spot where people can just hang out and little kids can swim and not worry about being pushed down the river. It was a lot of fun.. scary at first, but by far the highlight of the trip. We also went to the Imax which was fun and swam in the pool. Our hotel was nice but we wished they had a continental breakfast! It was nice to spend time with my family just hanging out and doing whatever we wanted to do. We were also a little spoiled because we slept in everyday until at least 10am.. Oh and the hotel had a separate room for Steven and I and it had the cutest little toddler bed, which made sleeping for Korbin a lot better. Here are some pictures! Sorry there are none from the Firehole.. I was too busy swimming :)

Fun to get some much Yellowstone in. I think I will have to check out Firehole next time we go.
I am dying to know though, since Yellowstone is a National Park, how does one go there to shop?? Were you buying animals? ;)

You must not know my mother :) she probably would buy the animals, especially if they were on clearance! Ha ha
