Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day was an impromptu trip to Yellowstone. One of Annie's good friends from high school was in Yellowstone with her boyfriend and wanted to stop by and stay with Annie. Obviously that wasn't going to work though since Annie is on the opposite side of the state, so we decided to go to them. We stayed with Nicole's parents, and she and her husband happened to be in town for the long weekend as well. 

We had to wake up super early to meet up with them, since it's a drive from Rexburg. But, we got to enjoy a beautiful sunrise on the way.





We saw this hawk soaring up above us, and then in the picture below it swooped down and caught a fish.



 I can't remember the name of this hotspring, but I love all the colors it has.



 We decided to head up to Mammoth Falls, because someone told us that there were a lot of elk up there. Once we got to Mammoth Terraces though it started snowing quite a bit, so I got a few pictures and then we headed back to Rexburg.







 On the way out of the park, we saw this bison walking on the road.

 I tried to get a picture of it walking past Annie, but it's all blurry. I should have put my flash on.
 We also got stuck in some traffic closer to the entrance to the park.



 And this was why we were stuck in all that traffic.
