Yellowstone Day 1

We woke up pretty early and headed into the park. The first stop Grand Prismatic Springs. Lisa carried Thea in the ergo carrier up the pathway. Thea was a bit fussy but Lisa tried to bounce her as she walked. It was a bit overcast when we got to Prismatic Springs so we could not see the colors of the springs the best. We then got back in the car and headed to Old Faithful. We spotted a few animals on the way and Declan got to ride in the front seat of the RV so he could spot animals and view the park. We arrived at Old Faithful just as it was going off so we had to wait about another hour and fifteen for the next showing. We hit the gift shop for souvenirs and garb. We made lunch in the RV then packed it up and walked to Old Faithful. We then ate lunch waiting for Old Faithful to blow. We waited in anticipation, along with hundreds others, to see her blow. Talked to a nice couple from Maine who were retired and on a 6 month road trip. Old Faithful finally blew and we all oohed and aahed! We then continued driving around the park. We stopped at West Thumb Geyser Basin to look at the Fishing Cone. That area was very pretty as Yellowstone Lake was iced over and there was snow everywhere next to the hot springs. We then headed to Upper Falls to the waterfalls which was also very beautiful. We continued on and tried to spot more animals and took in all the beauty of the park. We spotted a Grizzly Bear eating an animal on the side of the road. Cory passed it and we had to make a long loop to head pack and find parking. Cory and Declan got out of the car to go look at it. While they were looking at the Grizzly, Lisa spotted either a Wolf or Coyote in the road. That night it rained pretty good back at campsite and we sat in the trailer looking at the lightning and listening to the thunder.Read more
