We love Mother Nature!

Over Labor Day weekend we we able to take a trip up North to Yellowstone National Park. It was a great weekend. My only request for my birthday weekend was to get away from the BYU bubble, and my wish came true! I think we picked one of the most popular weekends to be in Yellowstone, but we had an amazing time. Luckily we were smart enough to reserve a campsite about a month before our trip, otherwise we would not have had anywhere to say!
During our trip we had the opportunity to go to the Playmill Theater and watch Annie Get Your Gun! What a fun production! We laughed a lot, and are definitely going to try to go back soon.
The first night was a little rough. We got back to our campsite after the play, and it was pouring rain. Our fire pit was a huge puddle so we didn't get to cook dinner. After a cold and wet night of sleeping on the ground, we woke up to a beautiful sunny morning with a few elk right outside our tent.
We were able to enjoy a second day full of hiking, watching Old Faithful, and just enjoying Mother Nature! Greg decided to hike up a little trail that went up the side of a hill. We climbed up and were graced by a beautiful view of a very colorful hot pool.
That night as the sun was setting we walked down to the river by our campsite and were able to enjoy the moment watching a gorgeous elk and a beautiful sunset.

It was a much needed trip before we both had to focus everything on school. I think both Greg and I agreed that we need to have an annual Yellowstone trip.

Excited to start our adventure

We had to take our feet picture!! (See previous post for explanation) 

The gorgeous view from our hike up the mountain!! 

I doubted at first, but Greg's idea was definitely a good one! :) 

We left our mark by the waterfall! 

Yum!! Tinfoil dinners! I love camping food!
