Yellowstone - 2012 Shaw Family Gathering

We had a wonderful time at Yellowstone with those of our family who could come to Yellowstone. We wanted to share a few of the pictures with all of you. This picture is of Ariane and her family at Black Sands Spring.
We did some fun riding on 4-wheelers.


We also had a great time visiting the geysers and hot pools in Yellowstone.
There were so many wildflowers in bloom.
