Yellowstone Day 2: Mesa Falls

One of the coolest parts of our day was seeing Mesa Falls!  We first stopped at the Lower Falls.  I had no idea it even existed!  We LOVED it!  Preston was really impressed and it was so fun seeing all the kids mesmerized by this amazing natural beauty.  

Yellowstone Day 2 Morning Drive

We woke up to the most beautiful sunrise on Saturday, the 4th of July.  I love the Teton mountains!  Fun Fact:  My mom (Grandma Joy) was born in Driggs, Idaho!  We got up early and drove north towards West Yellowstone.  On our way out, we enjoyed watching the hot air balloons that were launching in Driggs.  Such a fun sight!

 We made a few stops along the way to West Yellowstone.  We took the scenic route off of Hwy 20, and drove through some pretty impressive forest area on our way to Mesa Falls. 

Yelllowstone Trip Day 1

On Friday, July 3rd, we headed up to Driggs Idaho to camp so we could visit Yellowstone.  My parents were so awesome to come with us and use their trailer.  They have friends with property in Driggs with hookups, so we were able to stay there.  It was perfect!  They were also there that weekend and had grandkids our kids's age, so they had someone to play with when we were there.  

 After we set up camp, we headed into Victor to do some fishing at a fishing pond.  We had visited here when Alivia was just a year old and I was pregnant with Preston.  So 8 years ago?  We didn't catch anything, but we had fun!  We headed back to camp for some hamburgers, that turned out to be more like ground beef!  It was a little comical!  The weather was perfect and we couldn't wait for our adventure into Yellowstone the next day!

A Day at Causey Reservoir

Nick has been to Causey a handful of times to camp, splash around and to fish.  But we haven't every been there as a family.  Our camping trip to Yellowstone was pushed back a day, so we took the extra day and played at Causey with some friends, the DeVries.  It was absolutely beautiful!!!  The weather was perfect and we had such a great time.  I can't wait to go back again!  

Pool Party for Beck!

A few weeks ago, Kaylee attended a pool party for Beck Burgon, a good friend of ours that is in the same grade as Kaylee.  I got to be there and help Stacia so I snapped a few pictures!  The weather was perfect and the kids had a blast! 

 We also did a late night grocery run to get A TON of food for our upcoming trip to Yellowstone for  the fourth of July.
