My mom will be working in Yellowstone this summer. She’ll be staffing the front desk at Roosevelt Lodge, a place she has never seen before. We took a trip down to the park to check out her new digs. Here’s her reaction.

The cabins were a little more rustic than she expected.
We hiked up to a little lake behind the lodge and cabins. It was about 2 miles round trip and pretty steep, so I was impressed Anders hiked it on his own. We stopped by the lake and had a picnic.

Finn loves a picnic.

Mom loves a picnic, too.

Anders enjoys playing with mom’s walking stick.

Finn keeps a little almond butter and jam on his face for later.
