Please join A Southern Daydreamer for more outdoor beauty.About 5 years ago, my husband's family all gathered in Yellowstone National Park for a week. We had a great time. We saw elk, deer, big horn sheep, a bear, marmot, fox, coyote and plenty of buffalo! We saw amazingly beautiful scenery. It felt so good to be in the wilderness and see nature at work.
We stayed at the Old Faithful Snow Lodge, which is within walking distance to Old Faithful.
We saw so many animals just off the side of the road. No hiking involved. The most majestic animals were so close.
Everywhere you looked there was beauty. The weather in August was perfect and I would go again in a minute.

The waterfalls were easily accessible. They were incredible. Such power!
Beautiful, but stinky, paint pots were everywhere.
Here is a picture of our family (less the handsome husband, who is taking the picture) and his brother and his family.

Delaney and Emma (Delemma) on the only real hike we took. We were trying to get a glimpse of a moose, but we never saw one.
Hiking takes a lot out of you. You got a catch a nap when you can!
If you are considering a vacation to Yellowstone, Go, Go, Go!!! You won't regret it.

Janie, Just beautiful. The scenery is so God given. I loved it all. I believe the best pic tho, is the last one. Exhausted and a much deserved rest. I have signed up to follow your BLOG.

These pictures are awesome! We went to the Grand Tetons last year and keep kicking ourselves for not making the drive to Yellowstone. It is definitely on our "places to visit" list.
Amazing capture of the animals. And what breathtaking views!...Christine
Beautiful shots! What a wonderful family vacation. The waterfalls are so magnificent. And I love the picture of the bear. Thanks so much for sharing these. Kathy

Beautiful family; beautiful pictures. I love Yellowstone. Would really like to go back.
What beautiful pictures, and that bear. I had a big bear on my back porch a few years ago...I don't know who was more scared, me or him.
Great pictures and lots of good memories. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! I remember my parents taking us to Yellowstone when we were kids. I got in trouble for trying to feed a marshmallow to a bear. Wonderful pics. Thanks for sharing.

What beautiful pictures; thank you for sharing them. I feel almost as if I went with you. Happy OW.
I think that will definitely have to go on my bucket list...what a beautiful place. What are those stinky paint pots?..never heard of them before.
Hahaha, that last pic of Katie is a classic. I loved Yellowstone too. We went on a family vacation as kids, back of the stationwagon with sleeping bags, mad libs, etc. Great memories. Went to Jackson Hole, WY same trip. Very fun.
yellowstone is such an amazing place! a treasure~cove of God's amazing art!
i went as a young girl with my family and we are holding our noses in many of the pictures :)

What wonderful photos. It's so nice to see families traveling together.
I'm sure you all had a fantastic time. Have a wonderful day.
Hello Janie, Your photos are stunning, what a magnificent place, happy OW, Kathy.
Oh, how I love your blog! I especially like how the colors of your border echo the colors in your header photo. I feel like a tired traveler after visiting Yellowstone, Charleston, and Savannah, plus seeing your vegetable farm! I've been to the two southern cities; they are favorite vacation spots, but I've never been to Yellowstone or California. I have bookmarked your site so I can visit again... with three daughters we have a lot in common!
Hi Janie,
I have always wanted to so there! Your pictures really captured the beauty of the park. The wildlife is just amazing. It is definitely on my list of places to visit. Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip with us all! Amy :)
Awesome pictures! Looks an amazing place. Happy Outdoor Wednesday :)
Fantastic images! Another place to add to my "must see before it's too late" list!
Thank you for stopping by and saying hi earlier. I'll be back!

That is another place I've never been. OW is great for seeing a glimmpse of beautiful places to visit.

Fun Janie!!! Your family is beautiful!!! Too bad you didn't catch a glimpse of a moose, next time! I see them quite a bit around here. When I first opened your blog, I saw the mountains in your title photo and fell in love instantly!
:-)
What a wonderful post with fantastic shots of Yellowstone. We haven't been there for about 15 years and would love to go back again. I can remember having to stop the car and wait for buffalo to get off the road and also the many elk around the mammoth hot springs area. I also remember the stink of the bubbling paint pops ;) You brought all the memories flooding back - back in the day it was 35mm photos but I think I need to go pull out the album and revist our trip after seeing your fantastic photos.
Fascinating photos, all!
Brenda
We were just talking about wanting to go to Yellowstone the other night. Thanks for sharing your amazing pictures, now I really want to go!
Great photos! I've spent my life visiting family in Montana and driving through Wyoming and have never been there. I really need to do something about that!!
Happy Outdoor Wednesday!

Janie,
These are wonderful pictures and you have sold me on Yellowstone!! I never knew you could be in such close contact with wildlife (and not be killed!). Do you think you will ever go back?
I have been so bad about getting to all of my blogroll but I saw a little of your trip to Charleston. So I am going back now and will leave a comment if you want to check. Hope you had a great time!
xoxo
Jane
What incredible pictures!

Janie,
I'm so glad to see that you and your family survived the eruption of yellowstone! Good job!
