Yellowstone: Day Four

Tuesday, June 21

Eight and a half hours.......much better than Monday.  We headed out early again, about 8:30, to go see the upper and lower falls.  Nana and Papa decided the night before that they would take the morning to rest and meet us and my sister's family back in West for lunch.  We enjoyed the drive with only a couple buffalo traffic jams holding us up and made it to the Falls at about 10:30.

Hiking with Dad




Boys being silly!

We made the steep climb down to the lower falls which were absolutely breathtaking!  Once we made it back up to the car, we took a little break and Hunter had lunch in his go pod.



From the lower falls we headed up to the upper falls just ten minutes down the road and again enjoyed breathtaking views.





We were back on the road at about 12:30 to get back to West to meet Nana and Papa for lunch around 1:30.  We ate at a barbecue place in town that had an old fashioned (beginning to see a trend here) high chair for Hunter.


I think Mommy has had her fill!


After lunch, we headed back to the house to spend the afternoon while the rest of the family went back to the park to see Old Faithful.  This was definitely one of our best decisions because it gave Hunter the time to exercise and relax so he was back on schedule with going to bed at a good time.

Dear Hunter,

You really seemed to enjoying hiking with Daddy today in the backpack.  So many people stopped and mentioned just how cute you were and that they wished they had a ride like yours.  It was fun to watch you eat your lunch in your go pod beyond the rental car.  You were so happy to have a moment to stretch your legs, not be held, and enjoy the fresh air.  You are without a doubt an outdoor baby which is perfect considering your Daddy and I love to be outdoors as well.

Stealing sugars,
Mommy and Daddy
