Ode to Yellowstone, A Final Farewell

For our last day in Yellowstone and Paradise Valley, we opted to return to one of our favorite spots, tie up the hammocks and just be. The kids explored, dipped their feet in the icy river, squished mud between their toes and giggled until their tummies hurt. It was exactly what a day of family vacation should be.

 
I think it's time to get Charlie a hammock of her own. I wonder if they come in pink?
 

 
 
Sam is part monkey and thought it was fun to hang upside down.


 

 






 
Oh the many faces of Charlotte Ann...every day is a holiday for this girl.







 






 
It was only a matter of time. I'm actually surprised the mud didn't happen sooner.
 




 
Throwing rocks with her daddy.






 






















 
 
It was all we hoped family vacation would be...no media or screen time, more family game nights...birthday dances, warm cookies and ice cream...exploring new trails and soaking our feet in the river...hot coffee while watching the sunrise...sleeping with the windows open...star gazing at night...Paradise Valley, I miss you already and will hold on to our memories forever.
