Memorial Day Weekend in Yellowstone and the Tetons

We spent Memorial Day weekend with Jenny and a friend of hers in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. It was a lot of fun. We had some interesting incidents that made the trip memorable. We got to see four bears, three coyotes, and of course, plenty of elk and bison. Sad bear story was that just an hour after a baby elk was born, a black bear got to it. It's mother stood nearby as the poor baby cried. It was a very sad thing, but that's the animal life.
We hope everyone had a great weekend!

You took some great shots. I love the one of the moose and it's calf on the road. Did you take any of you, Jon, and Jenny?

Jon, Kristin, and the kiddos said...

No. :( I got a photo of everyone else though. That's something we got to work on. Jon's also not the easiest to photograph (unless it's someone other than me-you'd think he'd give his wife some practice too. haha)

The buffalo with it's calf is one of my favorite photos too.

The story was really sad. :(
However, I love some of the pictures, like the one with the rainbow and the one with the animals walking down the road. Nice job.
Rees is yelling at a laptop right now. :( Oh brother.

Hey Kristin,
It's neat that you got to see so many animals in one trip. I've seen them all-but not in one trip-several.
We don't get too many pictures with me in because I'm always the one behind the camera.
Love ya,
Aunt Diane
