Vacation with the Grandmas

We had a really fun vacation this year. We decided to take both grandmas for a week of vacation each. For the first week we went to Yellowstone with Grandma Carolyn and then for the second week we went to the Uintahs and camped at Teapot Lake with Grandma Margie. Caiti made a sign that said "VACATION WITH GRANDMAS" and we put it in the window at the cabin in Yellowstone and then posted it next to the trailer at Teapot. It was a very relaxing vacation and wonderful to have the grandmas all to our selves.

Week 1 Yellowstone with Grandma Carolyn



We visited the Rexburg Temple on our way up



Our cabin in Island Park




Mud Volcano and Dragons Mouth - boiling mud is stinky but very cool!





Waiting for Old Faithful






We took a scenic hike to see the hot pots


We saw coyote, elk, yellow bellied marmots and tons of buffalo (I'm glad they didn't chase us like they did in South Dakota)



Our cabin was very "cozy" and we enjoyed relaxing there every evening.





We didn't see any bears in Yellowstone so we stopped at Bear World on the way home




Week 2 Uintahs with Grandma Margie


Caleb, Adam and Caiti made a clubhouse in the trees and invited Grandma for a visit



Homemade Rootbeer and everything else tastes better when camping



Adam and Caleb spent hours talking on this rock


Provo Canyon Falls











We went fishing everyday


We took a scenic drive one night and Chris and his mom reminisced about previous family camp outs in the Uintahs



Alex and Jake spent one morning hiking Bald Mountain.


Caiti made a doll out of twigs and napkins her name is Lilly Lake.
