I had an awesome idea to take my Ipad as our camera in Yellowstone. Most of the pics turned out bad! Thanks to Melody (our friend's 17-yr-old daughter) I am able to post more Yellowstone pics. She took all of these pictures. We had such a great time with the Callisters. They have 4 kids ages 17, 15, 13 and 11. They are all great kids and my kids just love them. Melody put together a family home evening on Monday and that was such a great experience for everyone to sit around our cozy cabin and discuss the gospel. I had Melody and Ashley in YW's and I love to watch them mature. They are great girls! We spent a lot of time just laughing and carrying on. The kids spent a lot of time in the hot tub as well. Ryan and I feel blessed to have Marc and Shauna as our friends in Tooele.
We were only able to cover the West side of Yellowstone and I hope we can go back and cover the rest! Once we recover financially from the adoption and our house move that might be an option. Might being the key word.
