Luke sleeping all by his lonesome...or is he?
The cabins we stayed at had 2 twin beds per cabin. My parents thought the kids could just sleep on the floor. To this germ-a-phob mom, that didn't really cut it. We just pushed the beds together and all crammed in there. It actually wasn't too bad.
The walls were paper thin, so we could hear our partying neighbors come in late in the night. We ran out as fast as we could when their partying ways caught up with them in the morning. Yuck! I didn't need that memory.
This elk was hanging out near our cabin when we came back from breakfast.
August 3rd
Day two was a road trip out of Yellowstone and up and over Bear Tooth Pass into Red Lodge, Montana. It was a long day in the car, but we had fun torturing waitresses in small diners who weren't prepared for our crowd. At one point, due to road construction we had to stop and wait for the pilot car that was about 20 minutes out. Rather than complain, we all just left our cars in the road and got out and explored the tiny town we were in. Olivia had fun at the park, swinging on the swings and she didn't want to get back in the car, but once the workers hollered out that the pilot car was a couple of minutes out, we all scrambled back to the cars to get the kids belted in.
We stopped to see a mama bear and her cub. Grandpa drove on with all the kids. Too bad, it's not often you get to see a real bear in the wild.

We had to stop for a baby blowout so we got to see a little of Tower Falls. Grandpa was rushing us through to get to Bear Tooth Pass. It was the point of the reunion.
Here's where we caught up with the van, they were taking a hike while waiting for us, (studying wildflowers).

What a beautiful place!!! I think the bear is pretty, but a little to scary for me!!
I think it's funny that we all have a picture of our kids in the beds that first night. Neil and Becca have one of their kids too.
