jellystone in june




don't let the bajill photos overwhelm you. let's instead choose to marvel that i blogged at all.

highlights of the trip include: 

still getting excited about bison 

the overwhelming 1920s cuteness of mammoth

a momma bear and two cubs (from afar)

bald eagles

listening to the little women soundtrack whilst driving through God's splendor

my dad and jamie betting on who could wrestle a bison and milo interjecting, "but papa, you're old!"

pearl looking french

milo saving a korean tourist's hat that flew into a hot spring

our cute little playhouse of a cabin

being with my parents who are- jamie and i agree- the best traveling companions in the world

  7. Beautiful photos! My father-in-law suggested we go to Yellowstone while we're up visiting in Idaho.... we may just have to do so.... I love that you love traveling with your parents, too. They are wonderful folks:)

  10. Gorgeous photos- makes me want to go :) I would like to know more about some of those favorite things from your trip- you guys are probably fun traveling companions. :) I like road trips, what do you say to a Sharp family reunion road trip with a giant game of musical cars! Ha Ha Ha!

  11. Hey there, not even sure how I got here. I'm sure we have mutual friends. But whenever I happen upon a blog I make my presence known. I've spen some time looking over your blog. I love it. I thought my days of blog hopping were over, but you know...I'm a California/Utah transplant living in the mid-west and I look for connection on the WWW since it's sometimes hard to find out here in the muggy Midwest. I never like claiming that "I think we'd be great friends" but I do like the way you write. I think your kids are absolutely adorable and I hope I am welcome (and remember) to check in every once and a while. Plus, your hair looks awesome.

  13. beautiful. the coon hats are so awesome. i would freak out if i was that close to a moose.

    also... i haven't worn my dress yet, have you? clint proclaimed it to be the ugliest article of clothing i have (he hates the print) so that's a little depressing.

  14. I was just thinking about you and you parents the other day. I was thinking about how much I wanted to go to the Grand Canyon. Good times.

  15. How did I not comment on this amazing post? The photos are so wonderful and even thought I don't get as excited about the outdoors like David or you and Jamie, these make me really want to go to Yellow Stone. I think we'll really regret it if we never go. It should be on my things to do list before leaving the Utah area. Speaking of that list- do you want to go float in The Salt Lake with me? I promised my geography teacher I would do that sometime in my lifetime. It will be gross, but we should still do it.

    Your parents are adorable. Absolutely adorable!!!
