weekend get-a-way

last weekend i went up to yellowstone with the kays. it was marvelous. the ride up friday we listened to johnny cash and other classics, watched a movie, and took a few little siestas. we swam at the motel pool and enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, playing games, and generally enjoying a vacation from real life. 

saturday morning we woke up bright and early for our snowmobiling adventure! 6 of us rode into yellowstone on snowmobiles. we were decked out in snow suites, mittens, boots, helmets, and anything else that would keep us warm. we were lucky to escape the blizzard in utah and had blue skies and 30 degree weather. hallelujah! we made a few stops on our high speed (35 mile an hour) adventure to see bison, cow elk, bald eagles, coyotes, and other wildlife as well as the famous geysers. 













 a little brotherly love.... err wrestling




sunday morning we took a detour and headed to jackson hole. after some meandering we found the elk reserve and took a sleigh ride in to see the beautiful animals. there were dozens!









 this guy was GIANT! even sitting down!  i think he was an 8 x 10?




 we had fun on the car ride

 at least we have each other, right?
 look at the size difference of our fingers! hah. i'm a baby. 

needless to say, it was a blast!
