Do you know why they named it Yellowstone?

Cause I do!  Anyway, I'm a little late on this post, but the first weekend in June we took a family trip to Yellowstone.  I'd never been before, and it had been a long time since Greasemonkey had been. I was a little worried about how T-Bone would deal with all that time in the car, but he handled it like a total champ.  We stayed in a cool little cabin in Island Park.  It had the makings of a disaster with only one shower for 14 people, but it wasn't bad at all.
We had a good time catching bugs, getting eaten by bugs, looking at animals, and taking little mini-hikes. We let T-Bone take a little dip in the river, but he wasn't a huge fan of that.  Then the river claimed his favorite turtle hat.  That was a sad moment.
We saw some awesome animals, ate good food, played some cards, and had a lot of laughs.  All in all, a successful trip.  And now, some pictures:

 NERTS!

 The cutest dang thing in the whole world: T-Bone signing "boat" while sitting in a boat.

 Bye-bye hat!
