Yellowstone National Park

We went to visit the Yellowstone National Park for Free! … It was National Land Day and all the National Parks were free to enter. We saw a ton of wildlife and a ton a beautiful trees and mountains. Hot sulfur springs were cool to look at, but after a little while they were a little bit stinky. We were also able to see Old Faithful (a famous geyser) and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone (which was Brea’s favorite spot).
We went up with the Brownlee’s from our ward (Glenn and his wife Kristy) and it was a ton of fun. Glenn is an amateur photographer that knows his stuff; He took some really cool pictures. They both love the outdoors and told us some useful tips about animals and nature. Yellowstone was amazing!



















It was so amazing to be able to spend a day together in nature. It was a HUGE reminder of Heavenly Father’s love for us and the amazing creation of this earth.
