COCONUT! A BELOVED FAMILY MEMBER

Coconut, aka, Coco, is another family member. We took her to Yellowstone, unfortunately, she had to stay in the car everywhere we went. Animals aren't allows on the boardwalks. :( tragic. But she did good. So I feel like I must have a post to honor our little pup.

Every time we weren't in the car she had to be tied up, this was at lunch one day. hahaha She's got a funny personality.

She's happiest when her head is out the window. Funny animal.

She likes the wind in her face, but if we go much above 45 MPH she'll pull her head in.

GRAVEDIGGER! (Yellowstone 2011)

For those who don't know, GRAVEDIGGER is our jacked up Ford Excursion....it came that way...but anyway. GRAVEDIGGER is our family's means of transportation since there are so few vehicles that carry as large of a family as ours and still ride in style. We all just love GRAVEDIGGER. It's got personality and character, and frankly we love riding in it. Other than Semis, you are the biggest thing on the road. Makes ya feel pretty tough when ya drive it. :) Here is GRAVEDIGGER IN FRONT OF ROOSEVELT ARCH!

Us, in our beloved GRAVEDIGGER. You can see the arch in the background

Sorry it's blurry, but man, it was epic.

YELLOWSTONE-GRAND GEYSER!

Here are the pics from the epic performance of GRAND GEYSER! It was truly epic. There, at one time, 5 geysers going. VENT, TURBAN, GRAND, WEST TRIPLET GEYSER and PECULATOR.  The grand finale of GRAND Geyser was Legendary! We thought the show was finished, everything went calm for a moment. Then GRAND in one big BOOM shot upward with all it's might and went higher than any blast during it's main show. It was very impressive and totally made the trip! It was so neat to sit there in awe at one of God's creations. Grand has great beauty and power. A must see for everyone. Our family certainly enjoyed Grand's performance.

NORRIS GEYSER BASIN

Another place we went to was Norris Geyser Basin. This place is pretty rad, though it's sometimes nicknamed "Snorris" Since the activity has seemed to die down a bit, but if we take a look around...this place has the most thermal activity and...i do believe...it is the largest geyser basin. Check it out.

At the beginning of Norris

I don't know who that is....

In front of Steamboat Geyser!

Dad's smiling in this one!

Lots of boardwalks...Sawyer has his "cheeky Monkey" on. AKA The leash.

Reading the plaque

Dad and Sawyer

Yay! Happy Times!

Dad hadn't shaved, so he had pricklies on his face and Sawyer was FASCINATED with Dad's face. He's rub Dad's face with his hands the whole time he was on Dad's shoulders. hahaha Funny Kid

More board walking...

oh ya.

Obviously I'm weird...
