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

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.

I LOVE the boys camo outfits Grandma got them. They're awesome! And see, wearing them they're able to spot animals no one else can even see! :)
You're way more patient than I am. I never would have done five trips up and down the elevator. ha ha ha!
I love the pic of the group of kids with the scenery. Gorgeous. One to frame for Grandma's wall. :)
OH, and I'm totally with you on teh coyote and the mouse. It's the natural order of things after all.
Very cool to see it though!
