Here is a picture of Ally, Riley and Emilee at Yellowstone Lake.
If you know Jeff well, it is no surprise to you that we took yet another trip to Yellowstone when we took Kaitie to school a couple of weeks ago. He loves it there!
If you know me well, you know that I don't mind having the girls miss a week of school if it is for a good cause.
If you know Riley well, you know that she was kicking freezing water at her sisters, even though she was asked not to.
If you know Ally well, you know she is with us right now even though her mission wasn't scheduled to be over until next year. A couple of posts ago, I referred to the fact that she was in a little car accident. Her knee took quite a beating. She went to some physical therapy while she was still serving as a missionary. The care that she needed though was not consistent with the work required as a missionary, and she is home for awhile. She has not made a decision about whether she is going back or not. She still has lots of medical appointments, and it is not time to decide yet.
If you know Ally well, you know she was not all the way happy at Yellowstone. She wanted to run around and play. She wanted to hike. She is limited right now, and that is hard on her. She has always been very active and athletic.
If you know Emilee well, you know she was happy at Yellowstone. She loves the outdoors, and was not unhappy about being absent from school.
If you know Kaitie well, you know why she is not in these pictures. We asked her if we should visit Yellowstone before she was dropped off at school or after. Kaitie chose not to go with us. She loves us, but not Yellowstone so much. She was eager to get her apartment set up, and get ready for her own new adventure.
If you know me well, you know that I felt a little like Kaitie about Yellowstone. It is an amazing place, but we have been there a few times lately, and I am ready to explore something different.
If you know me well, you know that I still had a nice time with my family! AND you know that I stayed out of most of the pictures, but here are a couple with me in them...
AND If you know Jeff well, you know that he did not touch a razor on the whole trip.

Awww- I love that you posted pictures with you in them! So cute you are!
glad you guys had a nice time together! I like reading about other family's vacations, but since my kids would be no fun to take to Yellowstone at the young ages they are at, i dont think we will be taking the same road trip for many years to come, cuz i can tell you we wouldnt have any type of fun family experience like you guys had.
If you know ME well, you know that I am happy as crap to read your blog again. And maybe, just maybe, I will be inspired to do my own again soon. Love these.
