WE LOVED MONTANA!

It was beautiful! Of course, it was rainy when we were in town! But it was still gorgeous!

The kids thought it was neat to be high as some clouds!

Leaving yellowstone, heading into Gardiner, Montana.

Here's just a picture of our birthday boy!

We were soooo happy to be in a town after 7 days in a national park.
We had eaten tons of sandwhiches and burgers and we were ready for pizza or mexican food.
Pizza we found in Gardiner! You should have seen us! You would have thought we hadn't eaten in DAYS!

Happy 4th Birthday Little Man!

Our baby is 4! I can't believe it!
Where has the time gone?



We woke him up on Sunday morning with a cinnamon roll and presents!

Proud to be 4!

Sunday evening we had our family and a few little friends over.

Ashley, Andrew, Griff, Kennedy and Victoria playing!

Sweet Ava helped celebrate the big day!

We were also excited to celebrate with our friends from Houston, Paul David and Judson!
Because of where we have always lived, we've never been able to go to each other's children's parties.
Candice said the last Holt party she was at was Alli's 2nd...that was 10 years ago! It was just nice being able to sit and visit with her!

Griff thanking everyone for his presents and coming to his party!

Sweet Addi and Grayson helped celebrate too!

And little Judson who just had a birthday a few weeks ago!

Thank you all who came and celebrated with us! We had a blast!

A few of our animal sightings!

An Elk with huge horns (the only elk we saw on the trip with horns)


A Grizzly!!!

Bison were everywhere!

We saw several of these coyote's.
And later saw a couple of wolves!

In Mammoth elk roam the town.

We highly recommend Mammoth just because of it's quaint little feel.

We joke that the wildlife it is talking about in this picture is the little one below the sign ;)

Can't remember where we were....

But it was pretty!

Inspiration point and The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone

Y'all this place was beautiful!
It makes me so ready to see the Grand Canyon!

Photos by Walker

This little geyser/boiling pot was neat. It sounded just like a dragon or I thought a train.

Walker took this one...he thought it was claw marks.

This was on our last day in yellowstone and Walker was the only one who wanted to hike up this big hill to see the sights.
Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Tour Guide America for taking this picture.

You'd thought we had never seen snow before :)

Well, we've never seen this much snow!


This was around our lodge at Yellowstone.

We couldn't keep the kids out of it!

Snowball fights everytime we went out.

They had so much fun!

I'm glad they got to play in the snow on our summer vacation :)
