Well Nate did it again....Surprised me with an Anniversary getaway to Yellowstone. It was SO much fun. He asked my boss for the time off and it was such a surprise. He arranged all of the babysitting for the kids and everything. It was such a nice break from work. It was funny though, now that I am working, I really struggled being away from the kids. Nate is a lot more involved with them with me being gone, and he really really missed them too. He has gotten so attached to Drew because they are always together on his days off. He really struggles when he is away from that little guy. Can you blame him??? 
We had so much fun just playing it low key. We ate at a different restaurant each meal so we could try them all out. This was our favorite. It was the best breakfast I have ever had. The service was amazing. I was just a little whole in the wall place, but those are always the best. They served the food on fun china and it was to die for. It was so fun to have so much time with Nate alone. That does not happen very often.
We were so amazed at all the snow. It was crazy. It was such a fun town to be in. There is so much snow, so people just drive around on their snowmobiles all day through the street. This was the most snow West Yellowstone has had for thirty years.
The first day we got our sleds, we went all around Island Park. We rode for forty miles. It was amazing. Nate let me drive the most seeing how I am kinda nervous about getting hurt because of my car accident a few months ago. It was funny because I was going really fast and went off some huge bumps and Nate got scared and wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me off the sled. I was laughing so hard. Just never thought I would have him telling me to be careful and slow down.
I was really excited to see the Wildlife.
It was so cool seeing the Grand Tetons!
Nate lookin great at Old Faithful.
The second day we had the sleds, we went on a days ride through the park. We totalled 140 miles that day. It was so indescribable. We saw all of the main things people go to see. The waterfalls, geysers, hot spots, wildlife, ect... I smiled the whole time on the snowmobile thinking, WOW a trip of a lifetime for many. Lucky me!!
We saw so many Bison. They were everywhere!!
I saw some of the prettiest sunsets of my life in Yellowstone.
What a great trip. I was scared I would be cold the whole time. But the sleds had seat warmers and hand warmers, so I was OK. One of my favorite parts of the trip was the drive down. I was so full of excitement and Nate and I had the BEST conversations. He was so cute the whole trip and just kept saying that it was all about me, and he wanted to do whatever I did. He was so worried if I was having fun and if I was cold. It was so nice to have all of his attention just focused on me. I'm very lucky to be married to such a great guy. Nate is very romantic and always puts alot of time into our Anniversary's. I'm happy my kids have that example so they can treat their spouses the same way someday. It really means so much to me. Its crazy to think we have been married eleven years.
