10th Anniversary

So we weren't sure what we wanted to do for our 10th anniversary for so long then we just decided how much fun it would be to take the kids camping in Yellowstone since its only like 4 hours from us. We couldn't go long because of the fair being so close but I got lucky and had a break in school that week. I was determined this time to make it to the upper loop since I had never been to the upper loop even after all the times I have been there. The kids were so excited and we couldn't wait to show them lots of fun things.

Us girls in front of Old Faithful ya it was the last thing we saw on day 2 and the girls actually had to wait to see it which they weren't thrilled about and Vanessa said "that's all that is boring" kids.

Seeing a bunch of the mud pots, etc...the girls faces were so funny at the smell they weren't fans but thought they were so neat. Natalia as you can see was so thrilled she crashed lol

Natalia and I if I look freaked I was you should have seen where Ryan told me to sit for this picture ya not fun on the edge of a rock with a waterfall behind us but the picture did turn out good.

Natalia, Vanessa and Trista all smiles

We all thought this was neat that the steam from the hot springs were soooo hot they were melting the pavement.

Ryan and Natalia eating lunch at Mammoth. Natalia's first time trying kiwi she loved it.

Wow we just can't believe its been 10 years since we got married. It just seems like yesterday we swear but in other ways it doesn't. We look at the kids especially Vanessa and wonder where the almost 9 years of having her has gone (she'll be 9 in Oct). It has been an awesome 10 years though and I love him more than ever.

Our beautiful girls so excited about seeing everything

The elk that we saw right after we got into the park

Our first family picture after entering the park. there were elk on the other side of the river yep the girls were soooo excited. Even though we see them at home they were even more excited here. What a great vacation. We also got to see Ryan's step sister Jeanine who works there and meet her new boyfriend. We had a great visit with them.
