YellowStone - Day 1

We left for Yellowstone on Tuesday night. By the time we pulled out it was almost 9pm. We figured if we could get Jaxon to fall asleep we could get a good start on the long drive so we could enjoy our day more on Wednesday. We drove until about 1 am, and we were all exhausted!!! Unfortunately, our plan did not fall into place. Jaxon woke up right before we pulled over to sleep and didn't fall back asleep until like 3-4am! KILL ME!!!!! It was horrible! He wasn't being naughty or throwing fits, he just kept talking and talking and howling like a wolf at the moon!! (Something he has learned from Cat in the Hat a few days before). UGH! We all woke up about 7:30 still EXHAUSTED but decided to just get up and finish the drive.

On our way we had to see the Grand Teton Mountains. They are amazing! And so pretty!This has been labeled the "most photographed barn in America. The view is amazing! Joels grandma's ancestors built it. It was really cool to see, sadly the pictures just don't do it justice! Jaxon was just happy to be out of the car, running around!

A little while later we stopped for lunch! Jaxon spent most of the time throwing rocks into an ICE COLD little river! He waded for a minute... but quickly realized it was too cold, even for him!After lunch we stopped at Jenny Lake. Again, BEAUTIFUL! Those mountains make an amazing background to pretty much anything! Jaxon was asleep, so Joel and his mom went to check out the view at the outlook.

We got to the campsite just in time for dinner. Stretch those legs little man...

Check back for the rest of our trip... the best is yet to come! :)
