Big Sky and Yellowstone, Part 2

After Mommy’s conference ended, we drove to Yellowstone. We stayed at small hotel in West Yellowstone where there we saw lots of mosquitos, but did not get bit by moving are arms really fast like Daddy showed us. In Yellowstone we saw tons and tons of geysers and bison. We tried really hard to find wolves or bears but didn’t. We did a great job walking a ton! We ate instant ramen for lunch, and terrible, terrible Chinese food for dinner.

We watched Old Faithful erupt a bunch of times!

We did funny sister poses in front of geysers and tons and tons of steam!

We saw tons of bison and they caused a traffic jam. We learned that bison and buffalo are... kind of the same?

Big Sky and Yellowstone, Part 1

At the beginning of summer we flew to Montana! Mommy had a conference in Big Sky, and we stayed at a nice hotel where cowboys opened the door for us every time we got close. It was weird so we tried to never go through those doors. The hotel had some cool activities though, and lots of hikes nearby. We did the hikes and didn’t even have to get prizes from a gift store this time!

We went into a giant hot tub while Mommy was in her conference. It was too hot for Kayli!

We went on another hike and looked for animals, but found none! We did find cool logs, ate lots of snacks, and had fun finding shelter from the rain.

We did our funny skip/run thing. I don't know how this started -- probably something weird Leia made up!

Leia is very good at jumping high. She really works those leg muscles!

We climbed this in the rain!

The giant swing!

Socal and Legoland

We drove to Socal again for 2023 spring break. The last time we did Disneyland and Leia cried because she wanted to go to Legoland instead, so this time we did Legoland! It was great… except for the rain. We bought Legoland rain ponchos. Daddy put grocery bags around his feet. But we still had fun!

We fall asleep on long car rides still. Socal is so far! At least we got to listen to Harry Potter in the car!

We waited in line for TWO HOURS for this Emmet's Flying Adventure ride, in the rain. It was the worst, especially because the ride was not fun. These smiles are not real.
