Wyoming, been there, done that

We were able to take a three day trip to yellowstone last wekend. This was great as we got to take Danina's little sister Tasha with us. We convinced her to go camping for the first time EVER, drink out of a milk jug for the first time EVER, ride in a canoe and see the Yellowstone hot pots for the first time EVER. This was the first time Danina has seen
Yellowstone in the summer which made this trip even better. We stayed at Jenny Lake campground and had to start driving from Salt Lake City at 3:00 am to get there in time to get a camping spot.
We then hiked all day and saw two moose and many a chubby fat squirrel begging food from hikers. We then rented a canoe and swam in Jenny Lake. (if you don't have a shower then you aught to consider a lake swim each day) Day two took us to yellowstone, old faithful, firehole swimming area and back again. Yea, the pots still smell great if you were wondering. Day 3 then took us to Jackson Hole and down to Logan in the beehive state. All in all it was a success.
