Yellowstone National Park

We visited Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. It was the family and Amy's parents that all loaded up in the car to see animals and snow.

In front of Old Faithful.

This is a close up of how much snow fell on the trees.

Bison in the road next to the car.

We got surrounded by Bison in the road as they decided to cross in front and behind our car.

Lake Yellowstone.

The ice build up on the car as we drove around the park. You could blow the horn at the animals and it didn't phase them but when we slammed on our brakes the noise freaked them out.

We spotted a coyote in the parking lot looking for dinner. He didn't like our pretzels.

He's a Rock Star

Tristan is the new musician in the family. I don't know who he inherited that from. You can see in his face how serious he gets when he plays and sings.

Tristan has been begging me for a set of drums. Of course today they were advertised on sale in the paper and he found a coupon to use too. So I gave in for an early christmas present. I was suprised he even knew how to play them. Now its nice and loud in the house.

Tristan playing his electric guitar and singing.

It all started with Tristan finding Lance's old guitar in the closet.

Tiffany

Someone has been in the oreos.

I found Tiffany sleeping with her arm across her baby doll.

This is what you call a bad hair day.

Winter is here

We got our first snow fall of the winter season.

Camping at Flaming Gorge

Flaming Gorge is located in the northeast corner of Utah. Half of the lake is located in Wyoming. This is a man made lake. There is a dam that is 502 ft high at the south end of it. The deepest depth of water is 436 feet. Very clear but deep lake. It has a series of large canals at both ends of the lake. It is 91 miles long. It is named after its flaming red rocks that are as steep as 1000 ft. This is so far our favorite place.

The mountains of rock come straight out of the water.

There is also white sandstone rock with pine trees growing out of them.

Lance getting a tow.

Some kids jumping off the rock.

Playing in the freezing cold water.

I don't know why the picture keeps posting sideways. I guess because the truck we borrowed was soooo long.

Tom's friend Matt joined us.
