Yellowstone Day 1
We took the kids and Nana and Papa to Yellowstone National Park the day after Jackson graduated from Kindergarten. Jackson saw a NOVA special on volcanoes a few months ago and really wanted to see a volcano. We knew it wasn't quite what he was expecting, but it was the best we could do for now. Luckily he loved it.
