We stayed with Bill's sister Kathlynn's family in Idaho. They live in a beautiful breathtaking unexploited area. And generously let us borrow their camper and truck for Yellowstone. Thank you soo much Kathlynn and Doug!
Side story: On our way to Kathlynn and Doug's house we were telling the girls about them. When we said Uncle Doug they both started laughing (sorry Doug). They said it was a funny name. The laughing continued anytime it was spoken (I think they were getting car drunk-being in the car for too long). Then Campbell said that it sounds like Grub. So she refers to Uncle Doug as Uncle Grub. Again, sorry Doug! We love you!
The cousins had so much fun together. When it came time for us to leave to go to my roommates wedding the girls begged to stay and play with their cousins. Who could blame them, it was a blast having 4 more kids to play with. And isn't it just such a wonderful thing that cousins are instant friends. There is no warming up time.
When we were leaving town we were told by Uncle Gary (aka THE greatest uncle in the world!) to stop and try the Soda Spring water. It won awards for best water at the World's Fair in Chicago and Paris. Bill and I tried it. There was a little coaxing to get Campbell. But James was the one who really didn't want anything to do with it.
It was bubbly. And actually kind of gross.
I love this series of pictures.
And here we are in front of the Soda Springs Geyser. We sure got our fill of geysers on this trip.

That is one unimpressed face!!
James looks so different without bangs! I like it.
Awww, too bad we couldn't have been there at the same time! Only 3 weeks apart. Next time?
Oops, this is Laurel. Clearly, I need to log in correctly.
