West Yellowstone Ski Festival 2013

Another plane ride, another sticker book, is how it goes for Soren Johnson. This time, we flew from Minneapolis to Bozeman, Montana (and then drove to West Yellowstone, MT) for our third annual Thanksgiving Ski Extravaganza. It's become such an awesome tradition for our family: beautiful scenery, quiet & calm days filled with skiing, swimming (in hot and cold pools), jacuzzi-ing, eating, playing...

...and sitting on moose heads...

Soren's all bundled up for his first ski of the year, in his Chariot (what a little prince).

And they are OFF!

First meal: always pizza.

Morning in West Yellowstone...is beautiful. The weather this year was so wonderful, just warm enough, nice snow.

Soren visits his friend Mari and plays stickers.

We took a few visits to the Grizzly & Wolf Rescue Center. We got to see the wolves being fed, and the grizzly bears were roaming around and made a few loud roars.

We finished off with a walk into Yellowstone National Park. We couldn't make it far enough on our feet to see much besides trees...and blue sky...and some birds. But Soren was on the lookout for a moose the whole time (looking up, though...so he didn't see any).

After an early morning flight, Soren touches down at MSP and has had enough.
