Yellowstone!

So the week after my brothers wedding we went up to Yellowstone for Memorial Day Weekend. It was so much fun, even if it did snow on us most of the time. We camped at Norris camp ground and spent most of our time in Lamar Valley looking for wild life. Was a little disappointed that Dun raven pass was closed all weekend because of the weather. (Although I think it was closed for some other reason like bear activity or something and they were using the weather as an excuse.) We took a nice hike to Grizzly Lake, which was really gorgeous . When we got to the lake we ate our lunch, but had to make it short. It started to snow really hard on us. About 30 mins after leaving the lake the weather quit and the rest of the day was great. We saw 3 black bears, 3 grizzlies, a few coyotes, moose and lots of buffalo. I love Yellowstone and wish I could live there. Here a few pictures from our trip.

Here is a picture of Grizzly Lake before the snow came.


Jason and I on our way to Grizzly Lake, Look there's still snow on the ground. In some spots the snow was probably up to my knees.


This was when we were putting up the tent. Look at it snow on us. What fun times!


A Picture of Lewis Lake, it was still frozen over. Last year at this time there was no snow or ice.
