Look at these handsome boys. They had so much fun exploring in the wild and looking at all the beauty and animals in the wild.

We took one of the afternoons and floated the river. It took about 3 hours to float. Well actually we had to get out quite a bit and push ourselves down the river. It was very shallow in parts and the current was so slow. It took FOREVER to finish.
We had a good time but won't be floating that river again. It was way to slow and not action packed enough for us adventureous folks :) It was a once in a lifetime experience.
Brody was so tired after our day of fun that he crashed out on the couch. Nighty night sweet boy!
Here is a moose that we saw in Island Park on our animal hunt.
Now its really hard to see but there is a dark spot in the valley which turned out to be a bear. We couldn't see it without binoculars (a nice lady let us use hers) It was sure fun for the kids to see a bear in the park. That doesn't happen very often.
There is a bald eagle preservation in Yellowstone. The eagle's nest were so big and it was amazing to watch them fly over us.
The bison are not afraid to take over the roads and cross them at their own sweet time. They are so ginormous and scary!
Just lounging around, unaware of all the people that stop and stare at him.
We were also very lucky to see a wolf in the wild.
This elk was about 15 feet away from us. There was a park ranger keeping people at a distance. Carey asked the park ranger if he could go feed the elk a carrot. The park ranger didn't think that was too funny. He really takes his job seriously!
Look how close I am to that huge elk
Say cheese Carey and hope the elk doesn't decide to charge you :)
Duckies swimming in the river.
The buffalo were everywhere and when they crossed the roads in their herds, we just had to stop and wait.
We took one of the days and drove around Yellowstone Park. Here is a picture of Old Faithful.
Carey, Braxton and Brody patiently waited in the hot sun for Old Faithful to explode. This was the first time for the three of them to experience Yellowstone.
Braxton loved taking pictures of us. He is a great photographer. 
One of our favorite places in Yellowstone was artist point. It is so beautiful and almost seems unreal.
Here's the whole gang in Yellowstone. We had so much fun stopping at all the beautiful sites and enjoying all of God's creations. What an amazing place Yellowstone is.
It was so nice to get away for a long weekend and enjoy our family. Everyone had a blast!
Our first night we arrived at Island Park we went looking for wildlife. We had so much fun taking the back roads and trying to spot animals. We saw a couple moose (or mooses as Olivia called them).
Grandma Roz rode in the back with da boys. Now she is one brave grandma!
John is a great tour guide when it comes to looking for wildlife!
Brody had to take a little break in the wild... This is how real men take care of business :)
It was so beautiful in the mountains. We had such a great time that night.
We were all so sad after Tatelee passed away. We were so used to her greeting us when we got home ,waking the boys up in the morning, and going on lots of family walks together. Carey knew how sad all of us were and decided to surprise with a new puppy. He is a black miniature schnuazer and we decided to name him Harley. He is so adorable.
Harley has been so much fun...and work. We forgot how hard puppies really are. Lots of trips outside in the middle of the night, close observation at all times or oops there's some poop on the floor. Everyone has really tried hard at keeping a close eye on him and for the most part Harley is doing pretty dang good.
Harley loves to climb into Brodys stuffed animals. Can you see which animal is real?
The boys love snuggling with Harley and trying to teach him new tricks. Brax even climbed in the bath tub with Harley and tried to teach him to swim. It was pretty funny.
