More pictures!!
From South Dakota we drove to Cody, Wyoming. It was a good 6 or 7 hours in the car, but Owen did very well. We made a few stops and ended up in Cody for dinner Sunday night.
Beautiful stop along the way to Cody. Difficult to see in the picture, but it was very stinky courtesy of a dead and decaying deer on the side of the road.
We saw six moose on our drive. This mommy has two babies laying in the grass behind her. Apparently we were very lucky to see so many, my dad was jealous.
Owen rarely sees "real" phones since Mark and I only have cell phones. Each hotel room he made a beeline for the phone, picked it up and said "Hello". He then proceeded to have conversations with everyone from Elmo to Daddy and would then say "goodbye" and hang up.
Owen and a headless Papa in the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody. This place was huge! We spent the entire morning wandering around and looking at the exhibits.
Owen liked the big tile map on the floor.
Playing with antlers. He also loved pushing all the buttons to make the animal noises. We can all do a pretty good prairie dog call as a result.
Found a little cabin outside the museum.
After Cody we made our way into Yellowstone and headed straight for Old Faithful.
Waiting for the geyser.
While we were waiting Owen entertained himself by having everyone sit on his lap. This is Nana.
Here is Mommy.
Now Daddy. When it came time for Papa's turn, Owen scooted away! Hey....don't you know Papa has lost a lot of weight!
One of the many bison we saw. This one had just finished crossing the road in front of our car.
Going to see some paint pots. Owen liked all the steam. "Steam is hot" he warned us.
Lots of riding on shoulders this trip.
Yellowstone Falls.
More hiking. He wanted me to hold the frog's hand.
Inside the Old Faithful Inn. The structure is amazing.
Hiking around the other geysers and whatnot in the Old Faithful area. Our cabin was within walking distance to Old Faithful. There was even a bison that walked through our cabin area!
More steam!
Owen hunting squirrels in the West Thumb area.
Elk in West Thumb.
Owen with his "toy" for the afternoon, in front of Yellowstone Lake. It looks like an umbrella that got hit by lightening!
Next up.....Grand Teton!!

Great pictures! I haven't been there in years, but from the looks of it, it's all still there. :) Good job for taking Owen. We have yet to do that with our kids. Can't wait to see the Grand Teton pics!
