85 years and still going strong, in spite of what she may think :). We celebrated her big day with a party at the church. It was just for our family and was nice to get together. Alison had the idea to record Grandma telling stories of her childhood and other fun facts about her life so we would always have a record of the stories in her own words. This was such a fun time for all of us to sit and listen to her, even though she said she hated being the center of attention I think she rather enjoyed the spotlight. I will have to post some of the more funny stories that she had to tell, she went on for about 2 hrs so I won't be able to post it all.Tuesday, December 21, 2010

Yellowstone
It was a little earlier than we usually go but again this year we headed out for a fun filled trip to Yellowstone. I don't think I've ever been to yellowstone in Oct when we didn't need at least a jacket. Well this year was the exception. It was beautiful, almost too warm. It was a little harder to see the elk as they were staying up high to keep cool, but it was still a great trip. 
Elk Crossing the Madison
Elk Crossing the Madison
We sat and watched this coyote pounce on a mouse. My boys were rooting for the mouse to escape and I was rooting for the coyote to get the dirty rotten little buggerAll the Buffalo had moved down near Canyon due to road construction on the way to West Yellowstone.
The elk at Mammoth
The mighty hunters pointing at the geese flying overhead, (there wasn't actually anything in the sky). Grandma bought the boys these $3.50 hunting outfits and the boys were proud as punch. They wore them all around the town in Jackson.
Our hike down to the bottom of Tower Falls. Unfortunately you can't see the falls anymore because the side of the mt is sliding.
Our first ever hike down to the bottom of the grand canyon of the Yellowstone. It was a fun hike but long. I still have the blisters to prove it. We had a good time and all the kids were troopers, even Mike.
This is quite the rough and tumble crew.
Who knew an elevator would be so much fun. I think this was our 5th trip up and down.
I think Trent should have been giving Mike a ride. Trent is a natural at mountain climbing.
Lunch at the "lunch spot" in Mammoth. It was so warm that we didn't see many Elk. There were a few dozen but not too many bulls.

Here I Come Ladies!
Oh my goodness, Ethan LOVES his motorcycle! He sits on it all the time and makes vroom vroom noises, and when he's on it and it's actually moving he is the hottest thing on the road (sidewalk, driveway . . . same diff).
