Jellystone

Our first day trip to Yellowstone started out promising, but then went downhill. I took a wrong turn after the Norris Geyser basin, which added a good hour and half to our day and then the road to the Upper and Lower Falls was closed. The kids were pretty disappointed about that, but the next day was much better. That day we saw Old Faithful (while eating delicious bologna sandwiches and cheetos), the Paint Pots and swam in the Firehole river (which I have many bruises to show for).

I am so jealous! I haven't been to Yellowstone in years and years. Ethan has never been and it doesn't look too promising for our family to be visiting anytime soon! Looks like so much fun though! Way to make the most of your vacation!
