Snowmobiling in Yellowstone

Over the weekend we took a trip with Ryan's family up to West Yellowstone to go snowmobiling. I was a little nervous about how Ty would handle the cold, but he did GREAT!!!! It was fun to spend the whole weekend with Ryan since tax season has begun, and we don't get to see him as much. We drove up on Friday and spent all of Saturday out snowmobiling. The lodge we stay at provides clothing for everyone so we can handle the 10 degree weather we snowmobile in. Unfortunately, the smallest size they have was about a foot too long for Ty, and a boot size 6 times bigger than Ty's foot. So, although Ty couldn't move around on his own, he stayed very warm. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Here is Ty getting ready. He was not very fond of this process. We had 4 layers of clothes under that suit.
The size 11 boots made it very awkward for him to stand and walk on his own. Although he did get pretty good at it after awhile.
Here is the finished product, minus the helmet. He could stand up as long as he didn't try to move. I think he weighed an extra 10 pounds with all of that stuff on. I had a hard time carrying him.
Here is Ty sitting on the snowmobile for the first time. He still wasn't sure if he liked all of this. But once we started moving, he couldn't get enough. Every time we stopped he would tell us "more, more, more"!
The whole family on our snowmobile. Ryan drove a lot differently than he has in the past, seeing as he had two babies on board. I went up to Yellowstone with Ryan a couple months after we started dating for my first trip on a snowmobile. Ryan scared me to death with his driving. Without warning he started doing jumps and swerving back and forth on the banks of snow. This trip he just stayed on the trail and drove us all nice and easy.

I had to tell Ty a secret in this picture in order for him to look at the camera. Every time I pull the camera out now he looks the other way. He will do anything for a secret though. I don't know why he likes them so much.

Here is a picture of Ty smiling to show you that he really did have fun. He spent 7 hours snowmobiling that day, and he didn't complain once. He did a lot of sleeping and just hung out the rest of the time. We had a really fun trip!!!! Thank you John and Diane and the rest of the family!!!
