Greetings!
Yesterday we slept in a little and just relaxed awhile before heading into town (West Yellowstone) to see the sights. We did a little shopping and had dinner in a little cafe. Then we came "home" and watched Miami Medical (old habits die hard!)
Today we headed back into Yellowstone Park (without the travel trailer, thank goodness) and saw the sights from the West Entrance to Old Faithful and everywhere in between. I only took about 150 pictures today (Bob thought it was more like 400!) The weather was beautiful today - it only got up to 69 degrees, and that was as we were heading back to the campground. It was in the low 60's most of the time that we were walking around outside - sure glad I had my new orange Yellowstone jacket! Bob even got a little chilly!! We heard it's pretty hot back home.........sorry!
We saw a herd of buffalo - up close and personal!! The babies are so cute! I got LOTS of pictures of them. We also saw tons of ground squirrels, a moose and a heron. No bears yet! We arrived at Old Faithful about 30 minutes before it was predicted to erupt, so we sat down with all of the other millions of people and waited. Right before the predicted time a ranger came up to where we were sitting and gave a little talk about geysers and just as he finished she blew!! It was pretty cool to see - it's supposed to go about 130 feet up in the air.
We came home and grilled a bunch of hamburgers, hot dogs and bratwursts - we'll have plenty to eat for the next several days.
I'm hoping to get the pictures put on Snapfish again, so you can see all of them, but I'll attempt to get a couple put on here too.
See you soon!
