Yellowstone 2009


Yellowstone my Favorite place to vacation. This year we took Dubb's Dad Lon to Yellowstone for a week. He was so excited to see all the animals in the Park. And he also got a free Pass to all National Parks in the USA. He had a huge smile on his face the whole week. It was great to see him get all excited when we saw the animals and the BIG Sky Country!

Dawni and Lon... Anyone need a Bear Hug?


The Big Griz at the Wolf and Grizzly Bear exhibit


Old Faithful Lon thought the Geyser's only went off every 15 years. He couldn't believe it goes off every 90 minutes!

Hot Pots or "Stinky Pots" as Lon would say!


Hot Springs


Upper and Lower Falls

Dubb has always wanted to go fly fishing in Yellowstone. He got his wish and got some new wading boots so him and Lon went fishing. I sat in my lawn chair with a good book and they had a few bites but no luck at a fish!



Here is all the wildlife we saw, all but the 3 Bears we saw. The park rangers wouldn't let us get close enough to get any good pictures.



Elk


Baby buffalo so stinky cute


Coyote ran across the road it had something hanging out of his mouth


Lon wanted a picture of this tiny fawn, He ran right up there to catch the picture !


This was a awesome week with the Guys it was fun to hear all the story's Lon had to tell about his childhood. I hated to come back to the "real" world!
