Old Faithful.

 Truman and Gregg at Black Pool by Yellowstone Lake - look at the color of the water.

 Old Faithful. Before and during.

Boiling mud.

The geology of Yellowstone is so fascinating.

 The lodge pole pine is the tree of Yellowstone.

 We have a tree hugger   - Truman kept hugging and kissing the trees...random.

 We found these man-made tree seesaws by our lunch spot.  

 A stroller is a must-have for Yellowstone.  There are board walks everywhere.  We walked miles on the boardwalks with the kids and they loved it.

 Mammoth Hot Springs.

 The original Yellowstone entrance {the north entrance}.

Yellowstone is the first National Park - over 2 million people visit each year.

Bodie learns to suck his thumb!  I have two thumb suckers.

 So happy to be outdoors - Truman and Bodie were both so good and so happy to be outside for the weekend.

traveling.

We traveled most of the day today - on our way to Yellowstone National Park with some friends for the weekend.  

 Looking for some animals out the window while sucking his beloved thumb.

 Truman is a thumb sucker.  He always sucks his left thumb with his hand sideways - then he holds his right thumb up by his upper lip - funny kid.  He was so good in the car today {as always - he is a really good traveler}.

 He was so excited {as was I} to finally make it to our camp site.  He was also very excited to wear his new backpack.  He held it on his lap in the car almost the entire way to Yellowstone.  The picture below is of him showing me his backpack and saying "mom, see, take a picture of my backpack." {I like how he is bent over for the picture}.

 Helping dad put up the tent.

 Bodie taking a pre-bedtime nap in the tent {he did awesome in the tent}.

Campfire.

We are camping with the Robinson Family.  Gregg and Kirk grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado together.  When Luci and Kirk got married they lived in Gregg's house in Ceder Hills {this was all before Gregg and I knew each other}.  Now they live in Castle Dale, Utah and we don't see them enough.  We decided to make it a yearly tradition to camp in the summer together with our families...many more adventures to come with our boys.

blueberry.

A few weeks ago when we were in Idaho visiting family, my aunt Joan showed me these cute hats she knits {see my post here}.  I wanted to get one for Bodie so Joan knitted me a blueberry!  So cute.  Thanks Joan!

up.

We spent the weekend in Herriman at my sisters house.  We attended the Salt Lake Parade of homes with my mom.  A builder built a replica of the "Up" house from the Disney move.  The inside was really cute, and the floor plan was totally livable. 



ducks.

We love going down to Wasatch State Park and feeding the ducks.

A little bread for Truman also.

four months.

 Everyone keeps telling me Bodie is looking more and more like Truman...

so.

Bodie or Truman?

I think they look totally different.

{here is the post of Truman at four months}.
