Another great start, after a great pancake breakfast (nothing tastes better than food cooked outside--not just BBQ). Our route to Yellowstone took us to the NE corner. We climbed up to 10,500 feet, creeping about 25 mph. It was beautiful and awe-inspiring and still blanketed in snow.
We saw wildlife, Upper and Lower Falls and Yellowstone River. We might have pushed to see more, but Emma was feeling out of it--sneezing up a storm. The kids favorite was dipping their feet in the lake.
And of course, Old Faithful. We got there really early before the crowds and watched an unpredictable geyser go off. By the time Old Faithful lit, the crowds were huge and our girls loved the show.
Right after it finished spewing, the rains descended, the mass rushed off in a hurry and we had a car wash on our way to the KOA. On our way into West Yellowstone, traffic was halted for their 4th of July parade. Oh yeah, we missed the celebration, thank goodness Utah has two holidays in July:) We set up our tent and had an odd dinner before rushing back into town for ice cream and a genuine soda fountain. Stuffed and weary, the kids set off for the indoor pool and we hit the sack, sleeping coming instantly.
