We were all packed up and ready to go and then I did one final check of the weather forecast. Rain, snow and cold. Not at all what we want for a fun-filled trip to Yellowstone. I had been worried ever since May when some of my family members were talking about the piles of snow that were still up there. But we just hoped it would get better. We'd checked the forecast the week before and it was saying rain for the next two weeks. I was feeling a little better last Friday when we bumped into some friends from church who had been up there that week and he said it was great. It was overcast but they only got sprinkled on once. Well it looked like it was going to get a little colder but we figured we'd just be prepared for anything. Last night Josh went to pick up the trailer we were borrowing from a friend and I checked the weather and it was a lot worse. Very cold, in the low 20's at night, and 1-3 inches of snow! Anyway after much debating (we really have a hard time making decisions) we decided to see about postponing our trip. Josh was able to change our reservations this morning and they were so nice we don't have to pay any extra money or lose all of the money we paid and pay again, even though it was a very short notice cancellation. So we are set to go.......next Sunday through Thursday. The kids are disappointed but they don't want to camp in the snow either. Now what do we do with all this stuff for the next five days! (I'm thinking just leave it packed and just pull something out if we need it.)

Wow,there is some strange weather going on this year. Let's hope things are much better next week. I think I'd keep most things packed!
Good decision. I've camped in the snow and always had lots more fun when it wasn't as cold. Good luck with next week's weather. I hope everyone has a GREAT time!
Have a great time in Yellowstone!! We are glad you were here after all for "Cobbler Night" and McKenna had SO much fun sleeping out in the tent last night with the girls! Thanks!! :)
