Hellostone from Yellowstone

Asher, who was recovering from a freak encounter with a rare face-scratching racoon, helped us set up camp.

Alex loves getting his picture taken. You may not be able to tell, but he's thinking, "Is this the pose you want? Am I working it? Am I looking fierce?"


Emma, on the other hand, does not know how to pose. Could this be another Hannah in the making?

I know what you're thinking. How can Lizzie and Billy be standing when they have no legs? But this is not trick photography. In fact, the pair of them are actually wearing camo pants.


Billy is going for the ride of his life. Hold on, Emma! Hold on!

On the first day of the reunion, Billy and Lizzie and Billy were the first to arrive (partly because they live closest to Yellowstone). We showed up about an hour or so after them. We quickly set up camp, because (tut tut), it looked like rain. We went on a short walk to the visitors center at Yellowstone Lake. As we were walking back from the visitors center, it started to rain. Then Dad drove up, then Matt and then, late at night, Victoria and Becky.

The weather was beautiful. We had stew for dinner, then some of us had smores. It was a good start to a good week.

That must've been before the rains came down and the floods came up!!
It actually wasn't too bad setting up in the rain (thanks to Billy and Andy) but I'm so glad it stopped!
Alex is precious!!
