Yellowstone with the Carsons


We love going to Yellowstone. I think it has something to do with the air there. Usually around the end of August, we are so tired of the heat that we can't wait to take the 5 hour drive up to West Yellowstone and stay for a few days. A friend of mine once said that their family would make the trip north each summer and I asked her what it is that drew them there. She really didn't have an answer but after our first trip there - we were hooked too and have probably been there 10 times or so.
Anyway, we had been wanting to take Rick and Marta for a long time now and we finally made it. The big worry was that we had never been there this late in the season and didn't know what weather we'd be facing. Luckily, it only rained a bit the first day, but after that the temps were in the 70's. The day after we left, the first snow arrived in Yellowstone and this past weekend we had 6" in Farmington. (just in the nick of time, I'd say!)
