Yellowstone National Park- 2011


The Fruge' family, Carson family & Hoggard family all meet in Yellowstone!


A park Ranger shows Hayden some really big Elk antlers.

Notice the matching shirts!- Thanks Gran!


Our Pet Buffalo and my favorite story to tell.


Bear tracks...


Notice the shadow of the person next to the Elk. We were in our car. Um, they're called wild animals for a reason.


Grand Prismatic


Near Grand Prismatic


Morning Glory Pool


Yes, Hayden has his own valley in Yellowstone and he was really proud of that.


My sweet family!


A whole lot of hiking to do here.


Old Faithful


She was fashionably late.


Can't wait to go back!
