The jackson's had a great trip to Yellowstone this year. We stayed in Island Park again in the time share and had a great time. We were a little worried about Caleb sleeping not in a crib so justin upgraded us to a 2 bedroom. Its amazing even with the extra space how quick our family can take over! The two nights Mom tried to get Caleb to sleep he was up until 11 at night. When Justin took over on night three he sleep like an angel. He didnt get out of the big bed once.

On the drive up we stopped at Bear World again in Rexburg.  Another great bear adventure.  We even had a bear trying to eat our tire.   Caleb loved the train and petting zoo.

After we got to island park we went to Yellowstone 3 of the days.  The other days we went and did some other sight seeing close by.  In the wild we saw hundreds of antelope, 2 coyotes, 3 bear, millions of bison, lots of elk and a few deer.  Over all it was a great trip. The only thing we didnt do was see a Wolf for brett.  We did however get to see a few wolves in captivity.

During the trip Brett got to become a Jr. Ranger again and also was a great photographer with his own Camera.  The highlight of his trip, is when Daddy and Brett (went behind mom's back) and got Brett a pocket knife.  Of course it will be used only under supervision but Brett was very excited and started to whittle wood that night.  Calebs highlight was a little wooden box he got with his name on it.  He put quarters in it. Opened and Closed it over and over and over again.  It provided hours of fun.
