We spent the day at yellowstone. Weather was perfect, sun shining, cool in the am and warm in the evening. Breakfast served on the porch of our cabins.. The day started off with me falling on the front porch of my cabin, Kati having a stomach ache and Eli getting sick in the car. And a long winding road trip to Yellowstone.
The scene was breath taking, as we came up to the LakeYellowstone Butte, we had to stop for pictures. As the drive continues kids (Justin & Bruce) searched the woods for animals and found elk, bear, deer, raven and a few other birds but of course we stopped to take pictures of the animals in the wild. The boys (Hunter & Isaac) were just as excited about getting out to see the animals. It is interesting watching sibling rivalry in 2 generations.
We had lunch a picnic on the shores of the lake where the kids played in the water, and Bruce stretched out in the hammock. But of course Alli slipping an fell into the water, no towel, no dry clothes. We shopped in 2 gift shops, in the first one Hunter got a book on nature and Alli $ Eli got a Yellowstone journal, and Kati & Isaac got a family game. In the second one got tee shirts for everyone and a few souvenirs.
We crossed the continental divide twice. We visited Old Faithful and the upper, middle & lower geyser basin. At the Black Sand Basin the kids waded in the creek. At the Grand Prismatic Spring, 4000 gallons of boiling water per minute flows into the Firehole River. Crazy experience! At the end go the day we had traveled a 100 miles in the park and had only seen less than a third of the park. WOW! I never would have thought it was that big
The kids are become restless, tired of the car. They need a break from driving, a fun day.
