Jellystone


Here are some of the highlights from our trip to Yellowstone. We saw 12 bears, including a grizzly with her cubs. At one of the bear jams, Justin let us out of the car and then left to find a pull out. About 10 seconds later the bears charged the crowd and I was left to run for cover with my 3 kids! Once Justin came back and we were safe in the car, the bears began fighting one another. It was awesome. We saw 7 moose. We got caught in a buffalo "stampede" and were surrounded by about 25 of the beasts. We saw lots of birds, including a sandhill crane and her chicks. But the ultimate animal adventure was when a wolf jumped out of the bushes in front of our car! It was amazing. The kids had a great time. We hiked down to Tower Falls with Lucy strapped in the baby carrier. The best part of the trip was all of our kids slept at night in their beds!

Sara, so fun that you have a blog! Our fam calls it Jellystone too! Amazing animal adventures! We used to go every year, and we never saw a bear or a wolf in like 6 years of going. So fun to hear from you! I will be checking your blog regularly now. Liz Blundell Ward
