Yellowstone: Day3

We made our way through the entire park today. It was amazing and the pictures don't do it justice, at all. You definitely need a lot of time here to see it all, but we managed to hit the highlights.

First stop, Old Faithful! We actually managed to luck into getting there within 20 minutes of the eruption, so we didn't have long to wait. Good thing too because Maddie isn't completely excited about all nature has to offer just yet.

My favorite stop, the waterfalls. (one of the many, anyway) This was at the brink of the upper falls. They were amazing!

Maddie loved watching these! At least for a little while.

Look close at her expression in this one. That's a little more like what she thought about all the photos!

The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.


Roadside Buffalo!

John was obsessed with the water temperature; so he pulled out one of his inspection tools to measure it. 165 degrees!

By far the most exciting moment came as we were leaving the Mud Volcano. One of the Buffalo came into the parking lot, then up the walkway that we were going down. We turned around and hauled tail in the other direction, John pushing Maddie and me with the camera. Once we were safely in the car, John looked at the pictures and was like, you didn't get very good photos. Uh, sorry, I was a little preoccupied with running away. He is right though, this sucker was much closer to us than we have proof of!

Here is about to climb on to the sidewalk we were standing on.
