A cool shot Kenny took at one of the geyser's as it was getting dark.
When it comes to Yellowstone I'm beginning to compare us to Kenny's family when it comes to Disneyland. They all love Disneyland and go there a couple times a year. We've found ourselves doing the same thing only with Yellowstone. Sunday evening, after we got back from Salt Lake, Kenny got a phone call from his friend Andy. He, his brother Jon, and their families were in town at the Walmart. They were on their way to Yellowstone and wanted to stop by. Luckily I had just had one of those crazy Mommy moments when I made the kids clean up because I couldn't take it any longer. That meant when they came over the house was already clean. :) Jon and his wife Allison where here from the Netherlands and the two families wanted to go to Yellowstone. We were so glad they decided to stop by. It was so much fun to visit with them and to catch up. They ended up inviting us to go to Yellowstone the next day.

Hannah and Andy's son Bryson headed back to the car.
They drove on that night to West Yellowstone while we stayed home and drove up the next morning. We all spent Monday in the park seeing as much as we could. It was a lot of fun to see the park with friends, some of who haven't been to the park since they were kids. The kids really enjoyed playing with friends and just having other kids to hang out with. We were so grateful they invited us.

This picture is missing 5 kids; my 3 youngest and Jon and Andy's youngest.
It was a long day and the kids were tired. Hannah looked so cute I couldn't resist taking her picture.

If I ever make it to Idaho, your kids will have to take me to Yellowstone....I have never been there, and to see it thru the eyes of a child would be awsome....I'm still talking about the fireflies.
