mom's the word

friday sep 10 - mon sep 13

mom came to visit

saturday, after stopping for pictures in front of the tetons

and seeing a herd of bison

we took a drive up to yellowstone.

along with just a few other people

we watched old faithful

saw lower yellowstone falls

which flows thru the grand canyon of yellowstone

then stopped at the west thumb geyser basin

and walked the boardwalks out to the geysers on the edge of the lake.

saturday, after breakfast we drove across moose-wilson road
and were more than thrilled to find these two enjoying a late morning snack.

monday, we took one last drive thru the park
before taking her to the airport.

it was a great visit and it felt good getting her here to a place she has never been before
and being able to see all the animals.

if we come back next year, hopefully she will be able to visit again
only then she will have her knee replacement healed so she can really get out and about.
