Love this guy!

I just want to take a small post to express how much I love Trevor. :-) Life happened to us again this past week or so. I'm do glad I have him by my side! Somehow we are so perfect for each other. Our personalities are so compatible. I feel so blessed to have a strong marriage. He jokes when I'm too serious, he reminds me not to sweat the little things. We encourage each other to be the best we can. We support each other in our endeavors and in the good times as well as the bad. The last two years have been so wonderful. We've grown closer to each other and to God. It hasn't been without it's bumps, bruises, tears and prayers, but it's also been filled with joy, strong love, laughter, adventures, and peace in God's promises. I LOVE YOU TREVOR!

Harry Potter Monopoly (and a puzzle)

We took our Harry Potter monopoly (homemade) set to Yellowstone. After doing a 500 piece puzzle of the BYU stadium, we played a game of monopoly. It was freaking awesome. It was the first game we played on that new set. We all had a riot. Savannah kicked our butts. Can't wait to play again with my brothers and sisters. We had just bought all the properties when dad made us clean up and go to bed. Things were just getting good!

Artistic photos of Biscuit and Black Sand Basin

(These were all taken on my Samsung galaxy phone.)

These photos were taken in Biscuit Basin and Black Sand Basin. Biscuit Basin was interesting because there was a lot of dead trees. You can tell that thermal features come and go, and where they have been, nothing can grow. The ground is white. It kills the trees and plants. You can see in some of the pictures. Because of that, it gives a good example of how hauntingly beautiful and dangerous these thermal features can be. These natural wonders should be respected and given their safe distance.

Biscuit Basin

After black sand basin, we stopped by biscuit basin. This was another one we hasn't stopped by before. This one is different from black sand. The landscape was more barren. In the next post, you will see more pictures of the barren landscape. It did have the river running through it, like the last one. Dad enjoyed watching the fly fishers. We quite enjoyed ourselves, admiring the landscape and features that were unknown to us before. At this point, we were cold from the wind, again we have our hoods on. :-)

Black Sand Basin

Ok, this is a cool basin! We visit Yellowstone yearly and have never made over to black sand basin! Even Dad said that in all his years of going of visiting, even he doesn't remember visiting. It turned out being ready cool! There was a really active geyser there that erupted the whole time. The hot pools have more color here and are easily visible. This basin is very active. Don't mind all the selfies. We got pretty good at taking them while having the feature in the background.  It was cold and the wind was blowing, that's why our hoods may be on. This basin also has a river running through it. It was beautiful! We were close to the mountains too. Look for a later post with some pretty cool black and white photos! Some of which were taken here. (The last picture is one of them.;)

Old Faithful Inn

We stopped at the Old Faithful Inn. This is a really cool historic place! The lodge is made of wood! Trevor enjoyed looking at the exposed wood structure, and I enjoy admiring the history of it.
