On our second day, we headed into the park after we ate breakfast at the hotel. The first thing we found were bison. The kids were totally stoked (as were we the first few times, but by the end they weren't as exciting.) Christie had me get out of the car to get something for the kids. I didn't realize that the bison were so close and I may have hurried and got the thing she asked me to get and ran back into my chair.
The kids loved looking through their binoculars!
It was pretty warm while we were there, but there was still snow in some of the areas that were newly opened.
One of the first places we went was to the mud pots
It was totally stinky!
After we finished, we had a nice thunderstorm. We drove to a nearby waterfall and Kaylee and I hopped out with the umbrella to go check things out.
The rain stopped and the skies cleared so we all hopped out and went down to check out the falls.
Next was time for old faithful. It was quite a drive, so when we got there, Connor and Ashlynn were asleep. Christie and Kaylee hopped out of the car while I got the other two loaded in the stroller. Somehow we got there 10 minutes before it erupted.
We went into the vistor's center for a bit before they mentioned that another geyser would be going off soon. We hurried out to see it, and really it was a lot cooler than old faithful. It went off for quite a while.
Our final stop for the day was Gran Prismatic Springs. The kids were worn out, so we tried having them sit together in the stroller.
Kaylee was not listening, so her and I had a nice walk straight back to the car to sit while Mom and Connor finished the boardwalk.
We finished the night by going out to eat at a restaurant in West Yellowstone. Yummy!
