Six in Six

WARNING!!
 Family Vacation Pictures!
Leave now while you still can!

This trip was somewhat of a re-creation of a long ago trip
with two girls who were about the same age as the grandchildren.

It fulfilled the mama's dreams for her children to see it too.


We picked them up at the Billings, Montana Airport.


We were 


Happy, Happy, Happy!


Our first night
("How many nights are we staying here?")
 was at Gardner, Montana - 


the north entrance to the park


Where we had a close encounter


with some wildlife


as we meandered 


through on our way to


Jackson Hole, Wyoming.


We spent the second night across from the elk preserve.
("How many nights are we staying here?").


 The beauty and grandeur 
of the Grand Tetons took our breath away


where Papa decided his favorite thing was being old enough


for a lifetime pass to any National Park.


We headed back to Yellowstone


for an Old Faithful afternoon


and seeing everything along the way 


to our 
next hotel in West Yellowstone, Montana.
("How many days are we staying at this hotel?")

The next day we drove through the


Gallatin Mountains


to another hotel room in Billings, Montana
("howmanynightsarewestayinghere?")
where the daddy flew back to Texas.

On the fifth day we stopped at The Little Big Horn
National Monument
and ate Indian fry bread just outside the entrance
at the Trading Post,


on our way to the Black Hills 
where our next night was in Custer, South Dakota
("h o w  m a n y  n i g h t s  a r e  w e  s t a y i n g  h e r e?").

Day six was spent seeing as much


of the Black Hills sights


as we could possibly


 see


in one day.


Then we drug, dragged, drugged
our tired booties to the next hotel
in Deadwood, South Dakota
("How many.....?")

These well traveled children saw
One breathtaking view after another
Two grizzley bears
Three dozen geysers
Four National Parks
Five states (counting Texas and North Dakota)
and
Six hotel rooms
in
Six Days

If you haven't seen all this beauty in person,
get there as fast as you can!

You are a true friend if you made it to the end of this post.

Thanks for stopping by 
and thanks for staying!

p.s. there are still 633 more pictures!
