GrAnD TeToN National Park and YeLLoWsToNe!!

A couple weekends ago we went on a little vacation.  We all needed it major, after a hectic peach season.  Both the girls first time in Wyoming!  We had to stop to change Halia's diaper, so we took a picture by the sign!

 

 

We did some hiking in the Grand Tetons, so beautiful, Tony and I have never been there and we LOVED it, this trip we enjoyed the Tetons more than Yellowstone.

 

 

 

 We hiked to Phelps Lake lookout, so pretty, but it was really smoky so it is probably a lot prettier with clear air! Quincy did a good job, she got a cold the day before so she was pretty tired by the time we got to the top, but she loved going down hill!

 

Halia was soooo sleepy, it was really funny, she kept hitting Tony in the head.  Quincy laid on the rock listening to the water and we thought she was going to fall asleep.

We stayed at an AWESOME lodge, in Teton Village. We paid for a room with 2 queens and ended up in a 2 bed, 3 bath suite with a kitchenette.  The girls room was in a loft up a spiral staircase, Quincy was in heaven and Halia loved how fast she could scoot on the super shiny wood floors.  Their favorite part by far was the pool, they both LOVE swimming, so that is what we did every night.

Heading into Yellowstone, we had to stop for a diaper change again, so we all got out to see the view!



 

We saw some familiar faces at Old Faithful! Tony's brother Justin was up there with his family, so we met up for a bit!



 

We saw lots and lots of wildlife! Tony was really excited, the whole reason he wanted to go was to see if we could hear some elk bugling.  We did, we saw and heard tons of elk, he is pretty proud of Quincy's elk impression!!  Most of the animals we saw were in Grand Teton National Park.



 

Loved all the scenery!

 We stopped and listened to the elk until almost dark, then we moved to a different spot and listened till the girls fell asleep.

  



We saw this same moose like 6 times.

 

 



The next morning we got up at 5 and went and waited to see if we could see the elk come in and we saw a lot, until crazy people started coming from everywhere and scared them off. :{ 

On the way back to The Big House as Quincy called it, we saw a bear! Quincy was beyond excited!

 Then we went on the tram, Quincy had been waiting to ride "the bus in the sky" the whole time. It was so smoky though we couldn't see anything.  We had a blast and Quincy cried when we pulled in the driveway, but Halia breathed a loud sigh of relief!!!
