Labor Day Weekend

It has been many years since David and I have been to Yellowstone. We have been planning the trip for a while and were so excited to go!! On the way up to Yellowstone we went through Idaho Falls. We were able to see the Idaho Falls Temple. It is such a beautiful temple with the river right by it.



Trip Blunder: While we were in Idaho Falls we stopped to get something to eat and take a "romantic" walk along the Idaho Falls River. Well while we were walking under a few trees admiring the beautiful river a bird decided to "lay an egg"--if you know what I mean-- right on me. It went all down my hair and onto my pants...well needless to say our romantic walk didn't last too long.


Then we went to Rexburg, Idaho. Neither one of us have been to Rexburg. We really liked Rexburg. It is such a cute little college town. We were able to go inside the Rexburg temple. It was so amazing and very beautiful.


Then on to Yellowstone. We camped in the park at the Canyon's Campground. It was such a nice place. It is hard to describe Yellowstone other than---amazing. We really liked Old Faithful, the gysers, and the falls.

Old Faithful

We hiked down a ways to the brink of Lower Falls. It was a spactacular view.


Here we are on the opposite side of the canyon looking at the falls we had just hiked to.



On the way home we went throught the Teton Mountains--wow what an amazing sight!! They are beautiful.

We enjoyed so many sights it is hard to say which one was our favorite.

  1. Wow, you guys sure got some beautiful pics!! And I loved the story about the bird...that is hilarious! (Although you probably didn't think so...) I'm glad you had such a great time and didn't get eaten by any bears. :)

  2. Hooray for trips with just the two of you! Too bad about the bird, but that makes the trip even more unforgettable, right? You two look so great.
