Our Cold Memorial Day Weekend

One of Dillon and mine favorite places to go is my Grandparent's cabin in Island Park, near Yellowstone. My grandparents spoil us rotten, feed us way to much and Dillon gets to spend his time fishing with the guys, while I get to spend a little girl time with my grandma and any other fabulous ladies from my family who are visiting. We went up this past Memorial Day weekend with high expectations of wonderful fishing and seeing all the wildlife my grandparents have been boasting about. Unfortunately, what we got was tons of snow and freezing temperatures.

We still had a wonderful time with the grandparents and even though it felt like Christmas, they still spoiled us rotten and I came back weighing five pounds more than when I left. Dillon didn't get to go fishing, which he was bummed about, but we still got to go into Yellowstone and see a little bit of wildlife. And, it was one of the most relaxing weekends I've had in a long long time. I got oodles of sleep,  got to go shopping in West Yellowstone and see my wonderful grandparents who I love.

 This picture doesn't do this crow justice. It was huge! It was next to our car when we were leaving Gibbon Falls.

 The buffalo that didn't want to walk in the snow. He just took his own, sweet time sauntering down the street.
 The buffalo as we passed in our car. I could have touched him he was so close.
 A hot pot next to Norris Geyser. It was gorgeous and with the cold weather, the hot pots looked even more spectacular. 
 Steamboat Geyser. You can kind of see the water shooting out. The steam was pretty thick though from the cold weather.
