This shot was at 6:30 a.m. Every morning Grandpa, James, Steve & I and most of the grandkids get up early early early in the morning. We would go look for wildlife & usually we saw a LOT of bears, bison, elk, coyotes, wolves, wild turkey's & more bears.

This was such a fun trip. The weather was nearly perfect, after having such a windy, wet spring. We were there on the nicest weekend of the season so far. It was so beautiful in the park. We stayed at Canyon in the cabins with showers & it was heavenly. Cannot express how much my kids LOVE Yellowstone & hanging with their grandparents (thanks for the money every year!) and their cousins! Riding in different cars, talking on the radio, getting up early to hang out with grandpa, ranger shows every night, barbeques, & on & on & on. The memories of Yellowstone park are some of our fondest memories with the Jones family. We are excited for NEXt YEaR!!!!
