DeTHORTENHAUSEN'S REUNION - A MONTH LATE

Over the Memorial Day weekend, we had such a wonderful reunion with our Kentucky family! All of us were there (except for Elder Nathan Bettenhausen). It's amazing how even after being apart for over two years, we still feel and act like family! Yellowstone was incredibly beautiful! But the company was even better! I'm soooooo grateful for our DeThortenhausens!

MY kids - Just entering the park:
Starburst, Skittle, Raisin, and Juice
Scott was super proud of his buffalo picture.

Isn't this picture amazing?!
Thank you! I took it.
Love that freckled face!
And both of these two got KINDA close to a buffalo.
See the brown "rock" in the background?! It's actually a buffalo.
Love these bears!
Church was actually outside.
It was so fun to be worshipping with many other tourists, dogs, and children, etc.
The ward even brought us the sacrament outside.
