Is WOW and Adjective? ... No it's an interjection! (Jesse)

The past few days have been incredible! On Monday, we were extremely privileged to visit the Great Salt Lake, as well as downtown Salt Lake City. After spending the night in SLC, we drove by Temple Square and many other structures, including the Salt Palace, home to the Utah Jazz (a basketball team, I bet Joey knows that). The Great Salt lake was both absolutely beautiful and very salty! The island in the middle of the lake is called Antelope Island. This island features lots of cool animals, such as Bison, Deer and different varieties of birds. Overall it was a really fun day!



Tuesday was also totally awesome! We had the opportunity to drive through Jackson, a small town just outside of the Grand Teton National Park. Jackson was absolutely beautiful and featured a wonderful breakfast stop that filled us up for our long day! Once we reached the Grand Tetons, we hiked/walked 3.5 miles through some absolutely breathtaking terrain. The number of bugs was crazy!!! That evening, we enjoyed a nice dinner and then retired to our cabin at the hotel "Hibernation Station".



YELLOWSTONE!!! Oh my goodness, this national park was absolutely breathtaking! The combination of waterfalls, canyons, rivers, wild animals and everything else was amazing. Everything was so amazing that I can't do it justice, with words or pictures, however, I will do my best.

We started the sightseeing with a location called the Painted Pots, pools in the ground filled with boiling water and beautifully colored. After that, we visited Old Faithful, a famous geyser that blows water over 150 feet into the air every hour-or-so. Next, we drove by Yellowstone Lake and visited the Mud Pots, holes, much like the Painted Pots, but filled with bubbling mud. Both the Painted and Mud Pots smelled largely of Sulphur. Later, we saw Tower Falls, as well as another wonderful but unnamed waterfall. In addition, we drove through two beautiful valleys. To end this WOW (Is that a legal adjective?:P) day, we got to travel through beautiful Beartooth Pass as we exit the park. Overall we had an awesome time!!!

I would like to extend my most sincere thanks for following us on our blog, we are having an amazing trip and ask for your prayers for our safety. I hope to see everyone very soon!
