Wade, Ryan, and I went to Wyoming for 10 days. We left on June 25 and spent 3 days in Jackson, WY. After exploring Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park, we (along with Grandpa and Grandma) headed to Yellowstone National Park. We met up with my sister's family and spent 6 nights in the park before returning to Jackson to fly home.

| Beehive Geyser that we "accidentally" saw go off...the geyser nerds made us stop as we unknowingly tried to walk by (before the eruption)...It was taller and more powerful than Old Faithful but its eruption times are unpredictable. We felt lucky and excited to see, hear, and feel it. |

We had a great trip! Wade was an amazing and easygoing traveler who adjusted well to whatever schedule we threw at him. He loved watching wildlife and waterfalls and playing with his cousins (and the rest of the family too).
I polled everyone to find out what their favorite part of the trip was. Answers included: wildlife viewing at Lamar Valley, seeing bears up close, white water rafting on the Yellowstone River in Montana, the Beehive Geyser, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and spending time with the people I love the most (that was Grandma's, of course).
Thank you to my mom and dad for planning (and paying) for this amazing vacation! Thanks also to my wonderful sister, brother-in-law, and nephews for spending time with us.
