Yellowstone

We went to Yellowstone on Wednesday. We saw bison, elk, a bald eagle, and a wild swan, but Violet was by far the wildest beast. She screamed all night in the cabin and peed all over the bed in the morning. When we got into the park, she had a blowout that got all over the car and the smell would have scared off any predators in a 10-mile radius. (That's why she's naked in the 3rd picture) She loved the hikes but had to wear her peed-on jammies from the night before. She also made it very clear that she did not like being in the car. Anyways, we still managed to have a good time and here are some pictures:

We also got a call from McKay when we were there telling us that he had caught a baby skunk. I am not kidding. It was there when we got home and it is going to be the family's new pet. That's weird even for me. I will post pictures of that escapade later.
