ward family reunion-yellowstone

friday morning we were up and at 'em early. we packed our lunches and we were out the door by 7:30. laura was in charge of breakfast and had little bags of breakfast out of the table for everyone as we walked out the door. she even attached our cute little logo. what a nice touch laura!


it was about a 40 minute drive to the yellowstone national park entrance. it didn't take long before we started spotting wild life. the first was a HUGE buffalo that crossed right in front of our car.




then, shortly after we came across a herd of elk.

 
 


and not long after that we spotted a little family of elk walking along the river.




i'm sure we were a little too close. but, we were fascinated.


we drove straight to canyon village to view the lower falls and the grand canyon of the yellowstone. the weather was perfect for us and the view was spectacular. 

we did a nice hike to the lower falls.
