For those of you who don't know, both of my parents turned 60 this year. It has always been my mom's dream to take us to Yellowstone (they both went as kids). So for their 60th my sister's and I organized a family trip (this was before we even knew we'd be totting around with a 3 month old!).
The trip exceeded my expectations exponentially! This place was GORGEOUS! The cabin that we rented, close to West Yellowstone, was a dream home - on the water, with snow capped mountains and a fire pit! We saw more wildlife than I ever expected, and the micro-climates inside the part were amazing. And to top it off, Landon was an absolute dream traveler! YAY!
So, off we went!

Heading into Mammoth
Aunt Erin getting some Landon time
And, that's a wolf! Which is a VERY rare sighting seeing that there are only 100 within the park.
Buffalo at close range (no zoom, but we were in the car)
And who can forget the Grizzly sighting! So COOL!!
Apparently one pair of binoculars wasn't enough for Erin
Landon slept through most hikes
The Grand Tetons!
Morning coffee on the deck!
The painted pots
Yes, that is my family BEHIND the bear warning sign!
Well hello there Mr. Elk, I'm glad there is a stream separating the two of us!
Yes, that is someone's front yard. Elk were everywhere! (Buffalo too!)
The family (minus Landon because he was asleep) in front of the bonfire
Old Faithful!!
Getting proof that Landon was there :)
