The Beauty of Nature

We had a wonderful family vacation to Yellowstone! Our cabin we stayed in was so nice and comfy. Hilary and I stayed in a bunkhouse with bunk beds and it felt like we were little girls sharing a room again. Yellowstone had its ups and downs. Beautiful views but LOTS of driving. Hilary ended up getting sick our third day there and that was a bummer. Overall the vacation was enjoyable and it probably won't happen again since Hilary will now be going to school soon! Crazy!

Ready for the trip!

That used to be one big part of the mountain and it all slid down in a matter of seconds. Crazy. 

And so those are just some of the glorious things we saw. I am so grateful to live on a beautiful planet such as ours and we should never take it for granted.
