Hannah Montana

Bailee has new love for Hannah Montana. It all started with a new pair of shoes that she calls her "Hannah Montana" shoes (FYI they do not have anything Hannah Montana on them). My mom bought her a Hannah Montana shirt and she loves it! So on our way to Yellowstone we said some thing about going to Montana and Bailee Shouts "MONTANA....HANNAH MONTANA!? I need my Hannah Montana shirt." The next morning while we are getting ready she decides that she needs to wear her "Hannah Montana" shirt and shoes because we are going to Montana. It was so cute and funny, I took a picture of her by they Montana sign so I could always remember. In this picture she is shouting "I love Hannah Montana!"

Family Vacation Part III

Friday we headed up to the Upper Loop in Yellowstone. Our first stop was at the Artist Paint Pots, they are so beautiful. The colors are amazing.

After the Artist pain Pots, we went to Norris Geyser Basin. Matt and I did not go on our honeymoon, but now wish we had. It was very neat. The colors there were very different form those in the lower loop. It was amazing the vastness of space there.

After lunch we went to Mammoth Hot Springs. Once again, there was something new at every turn.





Bailee and Owen
When Matt and Steph were Bailee and Owen's ages they had a picture taken of them at this same place. Bailee and Owen were not quite as cooperative.

All of us.

We thought that this looked like a river of gold.

On our way out of the Upper Loop, we were caught in a lot of traffic. We were excited to find out that the slowdown was caused by a little black bear. We didn't get any pictures because the Rangers chased it off of the side of the road. A few miles down the road there was another big slow down. we were crawling along for quite some time. We got the message from another tourist that there was a Bear up ahead. We were excited and hoping we would get to to it before it was chased off as well. The moment I caught sight of it, I jumped out of the car and ran down the road to get a better picture. The little grizzly was up the cliff from the road and I was able to get a few decent pictures of him. It was so fun.





At the end of the day we of course had our picture taken in front of the Yellowstone sign. We had a great time in Yellowstone. I always want to go back when we leave. It is so beautiful.
