The Best of Yellowstone, in Pictures

There are way too many good pictures to try to post them all. All told, there were over 1600 pictures (from all of my family members), and a lot of those 1600 were good pictures. So I'm posting some of them here. I won't do a ton of these posts (I'm like the annoying person forcing you to view a slideshow of the vacation, I know), but I thought it'd be fun to see a few more of the pictures. As always, if you don't want to view them, then don't.

A picture of me taking a picture of Rob and Teancom. Actually turned out pretty good, I thought:Justin, looking serious:
A spider on its web:
Old Faithful:
Morning Glory:
The hat tree:
Rohan and Elijah, a 2 picture series:
(for next picture) Wouldn't you want to live here? Someone DOES live here. If you squint your eyes you can see a building at the very top of that mountain, which is Mt. Washburn. A guy lives there from June - October. He never comes down. Never takes a break. Every 2 weeks or so someone brings him food. He has "luxuries" like heat and basic appliances. And he watches for fires. All summer.
Our heros, hiking into yonder (that's Mel, Rob, Collin and Justin): Teancom, wearing his hat and Collin's hat:
Justin and the withholding Dylan:
Chad and Kristina, with Upper Falls in the background:
Miciah and Lower Falls:
Rob, stooping over Emerald Spring:
Teancom and Jaden playing on the boardwalk in front of Steamboat Geyser. It took the two of them almost all week to decide they liked each other.
Dylan, after throwing a fit for...long enough. Budge tamed her and then Dylan fell asleep in his arms:
The elk that visited: Teancom in my sweatshirt:
Elijah in Kristina's sunglasses:
Rob in front of Solitary Geyser:
Budge and Jaden in front of Dragon's Mouth:
In front of Churning Caldron. They always wanted to be together, but it was hard to get them both in the shot AND get a good picture of what they were standing in front of.
Check out the grass in his mouth:Dylan, playing with rocks. Some nights she put rocks in and on every single camping chair.
