Yellowstone, Part Deux

Yes, so pretentious to use French. Sue me. *snort*

More pictures.

Kids in the car. I wish I could say they were so cheery like this all the time, but they weren't. All things considered, they did admirably well.

(for those wondering, there is a DVD player in the Denali)

Oh look, it's the Continental Divide! Again!

Lava Creek. We took the kids here to give them a break after heading out into the Lamar Valley and then going to the Northeast entrance.

Sarah in a contemplative state:

There's that big bugger of an elk again. Same guy, roughly same place, different day:

Playing in a different creek on the way home from Old Faithful. This is where I received the mysterious bites/blisters, the remnants of which are STILL on my feet...no one else got them but me. Lots of mosquito and blackfly bites, but not the Mysterious Donut Blisters Of Death. The water here was really warm, as it was fed by a thermal stream up the way.

Joshua goofing off:

These guys were EVERYWHERE, and slowed/stopped traffic constantly. They appeared slow and stupid, which led people to do very stupid things near them:

Some scenery up by the northeast entrance:

Black bear snoozing by the road:

More coming in a few days...

Sep. 14, 2009 - A word on car seats

Posted by Anonymous

Hi, I just popped in here and noticed that in these shots the seat belts on the boosters are not quite routed correctly. Were you aware that they should be through the red guides above their shoulders? Also, Evenflo (the maker of your infant seat) recommends that the handles on their seats are kept down. This is done to keep the handle from being in the way in a crash. It also prevents the plastic shards that will smash against the back seat from being in your daughter's face.

Perhaps God sent me here to keep them safe.
Blessed be,
