Our Beach Trip...Sort Of

Last Sunday we decided to take a day trip to Yellowstone. We had not been this year and it was time. So we planned ahead of time, got the cooler ready, and headed out early that morning. My favorite place in Yellowstone is Yellowstone Lake...which is where all of these pictures were taken. As we were driving to the lake for our picnic, I could just feel the ocean...ok, I know it isn't the ocean, but it is the closest thing to the ocean for me right now! Anyway, the waves were crashing, the driftwood was beautiful, the rocks were gorgeous and the sand felt wonderful between my toes. The water was quite cold but that did not stop my Jake Allen from getting drenched and having a blast. Gray couldn't have been happier running in the sand and throwing rocks in the "big bath". The smell was intoxicating and I enjoyed every last moment!
This nice family took a family shot of us...rare to have all of us in one picture.
Here my Jake is splashing in the really cold water...loving it of course. You can see the smoke from the fire in the background. We found out later that the fire spread thru hundreds of acres in Yellowstone that day.
My sweet Gray smiles for me just before launching a rock into the "big bath".
Jake wasn't so brave when we first arrived...he decided to try it with his hoody...that didn't last long. He decided flip flops and no hoody was more fun!
Jake shows his brother the true art of throwing rocks. I think Gray mastered it!
