Fall Break

Last weekend we enjoyed Fall Break with a little getaway to Yellowstone National Park with our friend the Parkers and the Sorensons.  We took our time driving up there on Thursday, and took a slight detour to stop for a visit with Luke up at Utah State in Logan.


My kids :)

Luke seems to be doing well at school and is figuring things out.  He passed a couple of big tests this last week including his first PFT for the Air Force ROTC.  He really is enjoying the ROTC and I look forward to seeing what opportunities the next few years bring for him.

We stayed in a Hotel at West Yellowstone, MT, and spent a couple days exploring the beauties of the park.

We encountered quite a few buffalo

You have to pose for a picture at the park entrance!

Maybe these buffalo are a little close for comfort!

It was a great weekend with fun company and we loved exploring the park and sights.  The weather was warm and pleasant.   A perfect fall break getaway!

I really love visiting national parks. What a fun vacation. And bundling up for cold weather sounds really fun to me. We've had too much hot weather this fall here!
