YELLOWSTONE'S GRAND CANYON

(Also on my birthday, I wanted to see the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone) Mum and Dad didn't want to take the kids to the Falls. Don't blame 'em. Lots of little  kids, big 'ol cliff. But I still wanted a picture. We didn't see the falls, but we got a grand view of the rest of the canyon. 

The Restored Yellowstone Tour Buses

(See the post office in the background.)

Well, we were driving around and we found the Lake Hotel and Restaurant. But I discovered the POST OFFICE! But not only did i discover the post office, I spotted this rad, restored Yellowstone Tour bus...or whatever ya wanna call it. I just had to get a picture in front of it. (Reminded me of the good 'ol days when I had to ride the bus :)

MUD VOLCANO!

Ok, after pictures, we went to Mud Volcano and walked the boardwalks. Here our our pictures

AUGUST 4TH. MY 18TH BIRTHDAY

Well, on my birthday, I just wanted to go to my favorite place ever! It's across from Mud Volcano! I took a video. So I could share it with you! It's awesome! I'M 18 NOW!

(My voice does sound kinda funny in it though...)

WEST THUMB!

Well, we headed up to Yellowstone on Wednesday August 3. After a really long trip up there, we unhitched the trailer at Grant's Village Campground. Being later in the evening, we decided to go to West Thumb, which is just a few miles away. This is a great place, this was my second time ever going to West Thumb, and boy it sure has changed. The lake is sooo high.

ahh! See how happy we are!

Check out that huge hot pool!

Walking the board walks for the first time in two years. Feels good to be back. :)

This rocks! See the Cone in the water? It's barely above the surface...the water is soo high!

L2R. Sadie, Big Cone, then Summer. So happy to be in Yellowstone!

Beautiful, isn't it?

Big Cone in the distance. See the reflections?

:P

We've been in the park less than two hours and we already got a close up experience with an elk (in background)

See how close I am! (yes, I'm still on the boardwalk)

Cheese! We are so happy to be together in Yellowstone!

LOOK! DAD IS SMILING! WE CAUGHT IT IN A PICTURE!

Happy family! See our "cheeky monkey"?
