Yellowstone

We took the boys to Yellowstone over the weekend for the free admission weekend! They both did so well and had a great time! This is how Zane spent the first part of the trip to Livingston! Reading, my first lesson, bring more activities for my busy 18 month old.



This was lunch at Mammoth Hot Springs, we just opened the back and layed Tyson down and Zane thought he was really big and cool sitting and eating from the baggies! He grinned everytime he reached in for a blueberry or grape! He even liked his sandwich in a spiderman box! Tyson just layed around and watched us until it was time to load up and go hiking!

We wanted to get Zane in the water at some point but thought that all the creeks would be cold, we saw a bunch of kids in the water at Firehole, so we thought we would give it a try! It was the perfect temp and Zane had a good time watching the kids and splashing around!

This is how Tyson enjoyed the water! He just laid around and cooed!

Zane liked Old Faithful! He was watching it and pointing at it! We got to this spot just a few minutes before it started it was a great view and short wait!!

Ok call us crazy but we hiked down to the top of the lower falls with the boys in packs! Zane loves this back pack and Tyson was in a front rider that I found that he likes!! 3/4 of a mile and 600 feet lower later, we enjoyed the view and it was cool from the mist! And then we hiked out...oh my asthma loved that!! It took us a little more time to get back up, but it felt so good to get it done. And then we had snacks in the back again!!

Poor Tyson had his hat over his eyes, and Zane likes to peek around dads head and see what is in front of him!! All in all it was a good day, very long but good. We decided the next time we do this we will try and get to the park sooner and only go to one or two spots and spend time!!
