Yellowstone Park

This Elk was just sitting in the trees watching everyone watching him. He was huge!

Look at this buffalo walking down the road.


All of us on the bridge right by Old Faithful

Our friends came from Salt Lake to visit us. So on Saturday the 19th we took a day trip to Yellowstone Park. It is only 2 hours from our house. We had such a fun day. It was a long day but it was fun. This time of year is a great time to go because some of the baby animals are born and there are not very many people visiting the park yet. The kids loved seeing Old Faithful, the hot pots and all the animals. We were able to see lots of great animals. We were able to see baby buffalo, elk, baby geese, a coyote and three grizzley bears! We were headed home and right after we left Yellowstone Park we saw a bunch of people stopped on the side of the road so we decided to stop too. Off the road a ways was a three bears, a mom and last years babies. It was so cool to see them. We were happy that we were able to see a bear. All the kids were so excited about that. But of course the video camera battery was dead and the camera wouldn't zoom that far. So we have no pictures of the bears. That is the way it goes. But it was a fun trip.
