We had an amazing vacation the beginning of July. We started off by flying to Colorado. It was Dylan's first plane ride, and he did great! (Good thing for portable DVD players!)
Sorry about the picture size! I can't get them to work this time. The next two pictures are at the Garden of the Gods in Manitou Springs, CO. It was beautiful there! I would love to live there someday! The first one is of me and Ricky and the second one is of me with my parents!
This is my dad and me at one of the springs.
We went to a Colorado Rockies game while in Colorado. It was Dylan's first baseball game, and he did great! He especially loved the cotton candy! We taught him to put his arm in the air as we said "Go Team!" and he still does it! It is really cute!
On the 3rd of July, we flew to Billings Montana. We rented a car and drove the rest of the vacation. We spent the fourth of July in Cody, Wyoming. Dad really wanted to go to the Museum, so Ricky and I took the opportunity to go white water rafting. (They took Dylan for us!) This picture is outside the museum with our cute matching fourth shirts! Ricky got them as a present for Father's day!
(Do you see the resemblance?)Dad wanted to get Dylan a cowboy hat, but Dylan wouldn't keep it on! Mom and I decided to get a picture of him just for dad!
After the museum, we traveled to Big Sky Montana, where we spent the rest of our vacation! This is a picture of our resort! It was beautiful! We saw bear prints on the window of our car one morning! That's how close we were to the mountains!
We took one day to explore the area. Someone had informed us about a really pretty waterfall with a nice hike to get there! Since the side of the trail was a ledge to fall about 50 feet, we decided to keep Dylan in the backpack carrier. He was a little hesitant to get in it at first, but he opened up to it soon after!
The view was amazing!
And of course, Dylan had to get naked and throw rocks into the water with Grandma!
The resort told us that Yellowstone was only 18 miles away, but they didn't inform us that you had to drive an hour just to get to an entrance! We didn't let the drive stop us! I had never been there and wanted to see it all! Dylan did great in the car, too!
Here are the bison crossing the road in front of us! It was amazing! We also saw deer, elk, moose, a bear, bald eagles, and I think thats all!
Old Faithful was so pretty! We sat and waited for about 2 hours to see it!
Here is me, Dylan and my dad at one of the springs. They were beautiful!
And I had to throw in another cute picture of Dylan! He is getting so big!
The trip home was an adventure! We woke up at 5am to leave for the airport in Billings, since it was a three hour drive. We got to the airport and checked in for the flight, and just sat and waited. SInce we were flying standby, it was a waiting game. The airport only flew the small jet planes and was about the size of the Purdue Airport! They only had 3 flights out a day, and they were all completely booked! It probably didn't help that there were storms the day before that closed the airport for over 2 hours! We tried to make the best of the situation and went to a hotel for the night. They had a pool, so we had a good time! Dylan was amazing for spending the whole day in the airport! Let's just say that we will never fly standby again!
