Yellow-stoned Out!

One with the Buffalo

I can’t even begin to explain how very tired and sore this body is at this moment.  I haven’t even fully unpacked though we came home last night from Yellowstone.

I had a feeling it would be really rough, for the last time we went (3 years ago) I was a little lighter and it was hard.  I had no idea what I was in store for.

Thankfully Adam’s family is kind and patient, for I belt like the biggest damn burden of a whale ever.  The day we went to Old Faithful, we walked over five miles.  Let’s just say I had no problem getting in 10,000 steps every day lol.

But I’m just disgusted and furious with myself for how this affects my life.  I couldn’t hold her a lot of the time and I couldn’t keep up with the main group much of the time.  She is getting bigger and I want to be able to run around and discover the world with her.  She will want Disneyland in a couple of years.  Do I want to join her on the rides or be miserable watching all the fun?

Luckily I know just what to do and despite all I ate, with all the walking I lost what I had gained the week before the trip.  I just so need to get in shape before getting pregnant.

Some amazing trip moments:

·       Sammi playing with her cousins and having the time of her life

·       Seeing hundreds of buffalo, right next to our car

·       Seeing tons of bears at Bear World

·       Watching all the amazing geysers, springs, and mud pots

·       It hailing on us and then a rainbow appeared

·       2 different times elk running through the parking lots

·       Sammi’s awe at seeing buffalo!
