Ok so I slacked on the last part of the trip

So sue me, we were having a lot of fun and the internet is not the best when you are driving up, down, and through multiple mountains. So I will give a quick run down of the rest of the trip:
Tuesday- got up, went swimming at Chico. Dom loved the warm water of the hot springs. Drove through Yellowstone. Saw 2 bears, ate a delicious lunch, played in Yellowstone Lake (just our feet), made it to Cody just in time for dinner!
Wednesday-Bruce, Mullen, Logan, Ben, and I went to the Buffalo Bill Cody museum. Dominik stayed home with Grandma
Thursday-went to the Buffalo Bill Shoot out downtown. Went to the Rodeo, met up with Bruce's friend Matt and the rest of his wedding party
Friday-went for a picnic and fishing. Played in the COLD river, watched Bruce and Ben jump off a bridge into the water, went to Matt and Jessica's rehearsal dinner
Saturday-Matt and Jessica's gorgeous wedding
Sunday-went picnicking, swimming, and shooting in the mountains with the whole family.
Monday-went to breakfast with the family before heading on our way to Moab. Drove through a nasty storm in UT (we later found out it was the remnants of a tornado! SCARY). Made it to Arches National Park at 6 pm. Still kind of stormy. Not really impressed with the park. Drove to Moab, every hotel think looks nice has no vacancy. Finally stop by this rustic place, Big Horn Lodge, we get the LAST room and it turns out to be the best hotel we stayed at throughout the trip!
Tuesday-get up head to Canyonland National Park. Pretty cool, but only went in 1 entrance, the other probably would have been cooler but we didn't want to back track an hour to get there! Made it back to home sweet home at 6 pm. Whew, I'm exhausted!

Montana

We had dinner with Bruce's aunt Marie, his cousins, and their kids tonight. We are staying at Chico Hot Springs tonight. Got in a little late, but will check out the hot springs tomorrow morning. The picture is of the hotel.

Tomorrow we will be going back through Yellowstone and heading towards Cody, where everyone will be waiting!

Yellowstone

Made a quick drive through Yellowstone today. We did manage to catch Old Faithful at the perfect time, 10 minutes before it went off! We are now off to Livingston, to visit with Bruce's aunt and cousins. Should be a great time!

Somewhere outside of Vernal, UT

We're in the middle of a bottle and he likes to stop and pose :)

Lake Powell and the rest of Saturday

We were here on Saturday. We ate lunch in the truck overlooking the lake, near Glen Canyon Dam. It was pretty hot and I really wanted to go in the water, but time didn't permit.

Last night we stayed in Torrey, UT at a cute little motel called Austin's Chuckwagon Inn. It was a small room, but all we needed for the night. The town was really small, but had a great burger joint that satisfied our hunger after a loooong drive. It also sold beer, which actually determined where we were going to eat (remember we were in Utah!).

More to come later. Nothing but driving today. We'll be in Jackson tonight!
