Wrapping up with bears and the Tetons ~

We spent some time watching this mama bear and her 3, yes 3 cubs from about 50 yards. We had 4 Rangers around us and felt safe the whole time but it was really fun way to wrap up the trip, Alex got this photo with his phone!  

This little guy crossed the street in front of us.

More elk 

The mama bear and 2 of the cubs

We have stayed at this campground for several years in a row and across the street is this waterfall. It is amazing to see how big the waterfalls are this year. 

Hiking around in the Beartooths ~ 

Craters of the Moon National Monument and into the Tetons

Starting the day out right with this little guy at the coffee shop ~ He is so cute! 

Most of my flower photos are not good as my camera has officially taken its last smack. But, the photo of these little flowers growing in the black lava fields came out ok.

Driving down 101

From the cherry stands along the way 

We spent two days laying on beaches down the coast and then got a pretty rainy day ~ so, we decided to get Adams feet on the ground in California so he could mark that one off the map. This is what it looks like inside while we are driving down the road..... :)

We now have to pay the price for adding on the miles South. Planning a couple of days of driving with stops to see what we can. There doesnt seem to be much to see in Eastern Oregon but are planning stops in the fossil beds and then on to the Tetons. The time will be spent doing the important things ~
