Merry Christmas

From our family to yours….

Antigua Guatemala

This Thanksgiving Joel and I headed down to Guatemala and Nicaragua for a little getaway.  I took so many pictures, it is going to take awhile to get through them, but here is the first set. 

We spent the first few days in Antigua Guatemala.  Antigua was the original capital city of Guatemala, but was moved due to an earthquake in the 1770s.  The architecture in the city was incredible; huge, beautiful cathedrals with intricate details everywhere you looked. 

It’s a BEAR!!

Yellowstone (day 2)

More pictures from our Yellowstone trip!

 

We saw this family of elk enjoying the morning sunshine during our drive into the park from West Yellowstone.

Castle Geyser

Morning Glory Pool

We lucked out and saw this geyser going off into the river as we were high-tailing it back from Morning Glory Pool to Old Faithful.  We almost missed Old Faithful going off, but it was totally worth missing because I think this was one of the coolest geysers we saw the whole trip!

Photo opp in front of the Tetons.

Grand Tetons!

I discovered a cool panoramic feature on my camera during our trip – I was really excited to be able to capture the whole mountain range!

Yellowstone (day 1)

Our summer flew by way too quickly…I can’t believe it is already October; it really feels like it is still August!

I haven’t yet shared any pictures from our summer adventures, so I figured I’d start in reverse…or at least kind-of.

The weekend after Labor Day Joel and I flew out to Bozeman to spend a long weekend in Yellowstone with family.  I took thousands of pictures (no literally, actually thousands), and am having a hard time sorting through them.

Here are a handful of pictures from the first day of our trip.
