West Yellowstone Part I

This month we took a family trip to West Yellowstone!

Our main objective in going was to see Bailee perform at the Playmill.

But, while there why not see the United States first

National Park, Yellowstone.

Our first day in the park..

The first animal life we saw...

Bison (Buffalo)

And we saw a lot of them.  Some even caused a traffic problem as they were crossing the road. 

It's amazing how BIG these animals are.

 Love this one of him scratching his neck on the tree.

 Next we were off to Old Faithful.

And after waiting about 90 minutes it didn't fail to amaze us...

 The ground rumbles and shakes as it erupts with steam and water.

It really is a sight to behold.

 That night we went and saw "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" at the Playmill.

It was our first sighting of Bailee as well. :)

She and the rest of the cast were amazing.

Day two started with Linc and the kids going Horseback Riding.

This was no easy riding they went on small trails way up into the high country.

They loved it.

 Then into the part again

Our goal today to see Biscuit basin.

An area full of active hotpots and all kinds geysers.

One of the most noteworthy pots...

The Sapphire Pool!

What an amazing shade of blue.

Linc and the kids then made a hike to Mystic Falls.

 On the way out of the park that evening we saw this...

along the Madison River.

Moose

Then we walked around the town of West with Bailee in her curlers..

Isn't she gorgeous.  She loves this look. ;)

Each evening before the shows open the cast walks the street singing

and inviting people out to see the show.

Here are a few pics of Bailee and her Playmill friends.

 The Theatre

We saw Bailee perform in "The Drowsy Chaperone" tonight.

I LOVED it!!

They do a Preshow and a Variety show that are both amazing.

This experience at the Playmill is one of a kind.

It's really family oriented.  The cast even sells you concessions in character.

We enjoyed it so much and hope to return later in the summer 

to see Annie Get your Gun.

We didn't really get to see much of Bailee except for her shows Friday and Saturday.

But Sunday is her day off so we have the whole day.

This will be Part II.
