Summer Vacation: Wild West
August 10th - 23rd Family Vacation. A simple listing of what we did on our lovely vacation with a reflective afterword by Paul. Note: If you click on the pictures, they get bigger. This is likely the cause of Paul's enlarged belly in several of the photos. Day 1- Travel and settling in Big Sky and Buck's T-4 Lodge. (No photos, but had we taken any it would have been the somewhat outside concourse we walked through in Salt Lake City to get to our connecting flight to Butte.) Day 2- Paul, Samuel, and Faith did ropes course in morning. Em and Kelly shopped. Whitewater rafting on the Gallatin in the afternoon (awesome fun!). Farmer's and Art Market in evening in Big Sky. Day 3- Ousel Falls hike in Big Sky. Drive to West Yellowstone. Smokejumpers School, Earthquake Lake and Memorial. Day 4- Yellowstone: Early morning to look for wolves in Hayden Valley (only saw crows), Madison, Norris, Canyon, Fishing B
