Yellowstone & Grand Teton

How could I begin to describe the beauty of God's creation?  I really can't.  It is too magnificent and awesome to put into words.  We had an amazing time camping out in Canyon Village.  It rained the first two nights, so that was a little awkward. But the last night was perfect, and the girls got to have a campfire and smores.   That's really all that matters.  
I think I will just post some pictures and add captions.  These were carefully selected by my husband, from the 40 bajillion that we took.  Just kidding, but we took several hundred.  So here are the highlights.  

The sign.  They were so excited!
 

Looking for bears

Still looking, and check out the HUGE scopes next to us.

Old Faithful Inn

Ella's favorite, Old Faithful

It really was amazing.
                I LOVE listening to Ella in this video.  She was truly amazed and loved Old Faithful!
Hmm, I think you can read the sign....

This place was so beautiful

Grand Teton's.  It was a very cloudy day
