INSIDE YELLOWSTONE PARK










During the Fall break from school, we went to Yellowstone National Park. We knew it would be rainy and snowy so we prepared to keep warm, and we did! The first night the temperature was in the 13 degrees with a daytime temperature around 39. A couple of days we were there the sun came out and we all got sunburned on our faces. The sun felt so good and seemed much warmer than 40 degrees!

Fishing Trip to Flaming Gorge

Katrina caught a 23 pound fish!













We went on a fishing trip to Flaming Gorge in the Uintah Mountains. We caught many fish but Katrina got the prize: a 23 pound Lake Trout










We spent two great days catching many fish. The weather was about 40 degrees in the morning when we got on the boat but it warmed up nicely in the afternoon









































































What a tiring day

Many Elk lived in the campground we stayed at.
