Mesa Falls & Yellowstone

One of our days in Idaho was spent enjoying the amazing nature that they are so close to. They are just a few hours drive from a beautiful place called Mesa Falls that has an enormous, fast running waterfall. And then a bit further from there is Yellowstone National Park. I love being these types of places with my family. Being outside. Enjoying nature. Enjoying and taking the time to appreciate the beauty that is in the earth and all around us. It really was remarkable! 
At Mesa Falls! 

 Even if they are all not smiling perfect, they are all looking in the right direction! I love our groups of kids!
 At the mesa falls visitor center looking at all the creepy animal skins! The kids loved it!

Yellowstone! 



 This was probably my favorite spot in the whole park. The water just boils right out of the earth and is the most amazing and perfect and beautiful blue and turquoise you have ever seen. There is no way to capture its true beauty in a picture. The steam the comes off the water is so incredible intense when it blows your way. It was such a strange feeling and such a unique and gorgeous sight! One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen! Truly!


 Some of us are lucky enough to call our sister our best friend!
 Waiting for Old Faithful! We go there JUST in time! Couldn't have been any more perfect!

 There she goes!
 As we were leaving the park we were all remarking that we were a little bummed to have not run into any wild life a long the way. And then low and behold, there was a buffalo, right in the middle of the road! Those things are HUGE!
