West Yellowstone

We were able to go to West Yellowstone for a few days after being in UT. It was SO much fun and I can't believe we have waited this long to go! I loved it growing up and it was fun to see my kids enjoy it as well! My parents were nice enough to book their timeshare for all of us to stay and it was AWESOME. Of course, we HAD to go swimming. My kids are FISH I tell you!! :)

One day we walked across the street to the wolf and bear discovery center. It was so much fun! They have a bunch of HUGE bears and a couple packs of wolves. It was so much fun watching the bears. The girls were also given the chance to help feed the bears. The get to go into the bears habitat...bears are totally secure, somewhere else. HA! Anyways...the kids get a chance to hide food wherever they want, and then once all the kiddos are out, they let the bears out and its fun watching them try to find all the food! You will notice in the pictures that Brooklyn is not too happy about it...so she didn't end up doing it. Go figure. But, she DID give Kylee her jacket, since it was starting to rain...that is why my Kylee's jacket is 2 sizes too small in these pics!!
Also at the discovery center, they had an indoor exhibit all about different animals. The kids had fun going through this with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Susan and Uncle Louie. They also had a playground outside that they were able to play on for a bit!

I love just walking the streets of West Yellowstone. So many fun shops and stuff to see. Of course, my family goes straight for the candy store! HA! We had fun sitting on the bench enjoying our sweets! :) Kaden LOVED the bear hat...he thought he was so funny, making growling noises with it on!Anybody ever heard of "planking"?? Well...you find random spots, lay face down, and take a picture. Sounds AWESOME right?!?! :) Well...we had a little fun planking in West Yellowstone! Notice the animals behind my brother in the top row!! And the girls and I's TRIPLE stack plank!! :) Of course, we went to see Old Faithful. The girls thought it was pretty cool...and I have to admit, I enjoyed it as well!! The melting pots or hot pots, or whatever they are called are pretty cool as well!!

I am so grateful we had the chance to go somewhere together as a family and create fun memories with the kiddos. What a fun vacation and I can't wait for more!!!
