Yellowstone trip

We went to Yellowstone National Park on Saturday. There are soooo many pics that I don't want to post them here, so please follow this link to view them.

On this site, the slideshow doesn't put the entire pic on my screen. Don't know why, and don't want to sit here any longer and try to figure it out!! Some of the pics would have more detail than is shown, but you could see it on the indiv pics by themselves. I am not a computer guru and just don't enjoy sitting in front of one trying to figure all this stuff out. If anyone wants to send me tips or pointers, I will go try to fix it. :-)

Actually now I know why...if you right click on your desktop, click properties, then make it 32 bit colors and slide the bar to 1280x1024 click ok and yes, it will change the appearance on your screen to really small print, then the pics will be complete when you view the slideshow. After the slideshow, you can go reverse it all back to how you like it. :-) Sorry for the inconvenience.

I hope that will work ok for everyone. I wanted a page that I could add music to, but am tired of looking at all the options, so if anyone has a page like that, that is free of course, let me know. :-) Ya know I don't want to pay money for anything unnecessary!!

We had an absolutely beautiful day, it was about 76 degrees completely calm. Grandma Donnabelle went along on this trip, was really fun to have her there. We didn't get any pics with her though, boy was I NOT thinking!! Brayden did really well on the whole trip, just one or two fits total, mostly in the car. Going over Togwotee Pass there is lots of road construction, not much waiting, but tons of big equipment. That is really up his alley, big trachoes, backhoes, loaders, dump trucks, cranes, dozers, you get the idea. He was really awake and alert during all of that especially. We did have to wait one time for about 8 min or so, the flag man told us that they are seeing lots of bear activity. They don't seem to be afraid of all the noise and equipment, however, we didn't get to see any. There would be both grizzley and black bear up that way. So on our trip, we saw an elk, cow and bull moose, buffalo, chipmunks and lots of birds. It was a BIG day, with very little time to rest. Brayden caught a little cat nap of 15 min in the backpack, then he woke up for icecream cones and stayed awake till we were ready to head on home after a supper stop. We certainly wouldn't recommend Moose Haven for anything other than driving by. We didn't know anyone could mess up BBQ, but it is possible. It took us over 1 1/2 hrs to get supper done and get back on the road for home. I could give the whole sordid tale, but suffice it to say our waiter was glad to see us go!! Brayden had the best meal of all of us, his was in my bag in jars and such!! That should tell you how it was. But that was the only blight on the whole day, so can't dwell on that one. We got home just after 10 p.m. rolled Brayden out of his carseat and into pjs. He went right back to sleep and slept till after 8 the next morning. Just over 11 hrs of sleep for our little man. Needless to say mama and daddy haven't gotten caught up on sleep yet, but we are working on it. We need to catch up at a slower pace I guess. We had a small nap yest but it messed up the whole going to sleep thing last night. We aren't much for napping!! Best let this do for now, let me know if you have trouble with the photo site.
