Yellowstone Park

We finally made it over to Yellowstone Park this summer! We ended up making it a weekend get-away and headed up to a cabin just outside of the Park on a Saturday afternoon. We got to the cabin just a couple of hours before dark, so we didn't get to do a whole lot, but we built a fire and cooked out and had s'mores, then after dark, we headed in and played some card games. it was so fun! On Sunday, we headed into the Park and the kids wanted to do the big loop, so we weren't able to get out and walk around a lot, but we did make it to Old Faithful. The only wildlife that we saw were buffalo. A small herd crossed the road right in front of us.

Waiting for Old Faithful to erupt....

Overall, I think we all agreed that the Park was a big disappointment. We can go up in the mountains here by the house, and see more wildlife, and less tourists!! We all agreed that next time we want to get away, that we will just do the cabin for a weekend and do some hiking and fishing!!
