Brady Yellowstone Trip!

This was our first annual Brady family trip. We got the ball rolling by telling everyone that Yellowstone is only 4 hours from where we live. (True, but when you are traveling with 7 kids under the age of 8, who are all on different schedules, the trip ends up being more like 7 hours! Ugh!)
Brooklyn and I ready for travel and taking in the scenery.

The Tetons!

Our first stop once we got into Yellowstone was at Lewis Day Waterfall. It was beautiful!

When we got to our camp spot we noticed that we were not alone!!

I know, I was more hoping for a bear, but dear are cool too!

Much to our surprise, dear were not the only thing invading our camp site! This huge buffalo was a tent away from ours. We were very careful not to get to close, because of all the buffalo attacks we have heard of lately.

Brooklyn looking like a Yellowstone native in her beaver hat!

We couldn't help but laugh when we saw her crazy camping hair in the morning!

Here are a few of the things we saw and did while in Yellowstone.

The wildlife was everywhere, except for the illusive grizzly bear.

We took a 2 mile hike to the upper and lower falls. It was mostly stairs, but well worth it in the end.

All of the Brady boys chill-ax-in on the way back from the lower falls. Joseph, Nicolas, Shawn, Brandon, and Keith, oh and little Brooklyn peaking out from the pack.

I would seriously recommend a baby hiking back pack like this if you are doing any amount of hiking. It was the best thing ever.

Mammoth Hot Springs was nothing to impressive,

but Old Faithful did not disappoint!

Old Faithful about to irrupt.

So amazing!

The girls all instantly paid attention when Old Faithful went off.

The Brady Grand-kids. Elli, Baylan, Kailee, Jocelyn, Elise, Brooklyn, and Ava. Brooklyn had a blast with her cousins. Someone was constantly keeping her entertained!

Us perfecting the elk horn look.

One of the many Elk horn arches in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Keith and Kristi blew out a tire on the way back, we have a broken toilet seat and broken dryer, Baylan threw up all over in Shawn and Maria's truck, seems like we would stop every time a baby finally fell asleep, and we all had to go the bathroom at different times! All worth it though, to spend quality time together as a family! I hope this is the first of many Brady family trips!
