yellowstone

we went to yellowstone on tuesday. it was our best weather day. we loved it! a couple of days before we went, they closed the south entrance to the park because there was so much snow! there was snow everywhere, it was really pretty!

lewis falls, i think. thanks lewis and clark for finding it for us! :)

waiting for old faithful. i really had no idea what to expect. it was very exciting. as steam started to really rise, there were lots of ooohs and ahhs.

it did this for a while. little bursts of water would shoot up. more ooohs and ahhs. notice the heighth of the water compared to the trees.

this was as high as it got. it was amazing! i just couldn't get over how neat our God is. to create something so crazy and so awesome knowing it would thrill and fascinate His people. almost everything we saw on this trip so obviously pointed to our amazing and creative God! He is so good!

near old faithful. this water was constantly boiling. so neat!

really pretty! different kinds of algae grow in the different temperatures. this kind made it look blue.
a little further up the road was sapphire pool. i think this was my favorite.

some of these were hard to take pictures of, because the cold weather made lots of steam.

then on to the 'grand canyon of yellowstone'. it was amazing. it was so loud even from really far away.

the other end of the canyon...


on our way back home. it was such a great day! i am excited to go back with the kids some day and spend a little more time.
