Ahh... relaxing and fun YELLOWSTONE!
Chris and I have always LOVED Yellowstone. More particularly, Henry's Lake. That's where the family cabin is. That's where we spent our first vacation when we were dating (and pretty much found out we were in love) That's where Chris proposed to me the next year. It's one of my very favorite places to be!
We went with the Lee family... and our friends Dallas and Britt Aste (and their adorable girls!)
It was a lot of fun! We rented a little fishing boat and Chris a
nd the boys went out early in the mornings to catch some. Jon caught one in the first few minutes and sat around for a few hours... just chilling.
The next day Matt caught one. Not sure how many Chris and Dallas caught.
It was beautiful up there as usual! We went into the park one day and drove around for hours. We went toward mammoth... and saw a black bear chilling. We were all freaking out because we had been talking about how badly we wanted to see a bear. We thought that was the pinnacle of the wildlife watching.
A few hours later, however, we saw a traffic jam (which usually means animals ahead) and a few of us decided to hop out and take a look. We ran ahead... and found what everyone was looking at. A grizzly... munching on an elk!! Holy moley!! Crazy!! And, even more crazy (and pretty stupid of us) it was only about 100 yards away from us! Yikes. We tried to get a few pics but they didn't really turn out. I was nervous until Dallas reminded me that we didn't have to outrun the bear. (huh?) We just have to outrun the people next to us. I looked around and realized we were probably pretty safe :)
