We've had a fantasic couple of days We spent a few hours in Jackson Hole, WY yesterday. It is very beautiful there. We had lunch and did a little shopping, but I could have spent the entire day there looking at shops. The boys were planning to raft there as well, but we didn't have enough time.
Here's a famous arch in downtown Jackson Hole that is make of antlers.
Last night we made it to our cabin and RV parking spot for the 3 days we are in Yellowstone. It is quaint and just perfect for what we need!
On the way we drove through part of the park and were able to see a momma black bear and her 2 babies right on the roadside. So cool! No pics though. I wasn't quick enough.
The weather here is fabulous. It was in the low 40s this morning when we left and then got in the upper 70s this afternoon. And there is NO humidity! You could have big fabulous hair all the time!! It would be my kind of place until I just heard that it gets 30 to 50 below zero in the winter. Way too cold for my liking!
Funny thing about this place is when wildlife is seen from the road people just jerk off the road really quick to get out and take pictures. Sometime it will cause a traffic jam for 30 minutes. This is what the road looks like when it happens.
Today (Tuesday) we spent the entire day in Yellowstone. We saw geysers, mountains, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, elk, grizzly bears, antelope, and buffalo! Some of them were very close. A really neat experience. I suggest everyone visit here at least once in a lifetime. There are people here from all over the world which is really neat too!

Zach and I are at the laundry mat now washing all of our clothes. Makes me so thankful for my own washer and dryer at home.
That's it for today! Stay tuned for more from Montana!
