Yellowstone: "pack a lunch"




Today was our big day in Yellowstone. We left around 10:00. We stopped for lunch at Mammoth and saw lots of elk. There were some baby elk behind our picnic table. Then we headed over to Tower around 3:30P.M. and saw 5 bear within a two-hour period. My favorite bear was a black “cinnamon” bear that was just right off the side of the road. It was so close that we couldn’t get out of our car to take pictures. It was awesome! We were so excited to see so many bear. We saw lots of buffalo. It was a great day! My favorite saying of the day came from Bridger. We were waiting in a bear traffic jam when we drove past a pond with yellow scum on top. Bridger looked out his window and said, “Is that throw up?” Marilyn, Matt and I busted out laughing. I love his little sayings.

On our way home, we stopped and ate dinner at the restaurant “Gusher” and had pizza. Mom and Dad are always so generous. Dad always insists on paying for dinner. Dad stopped and picked up more ice cream. He loves to eat ice cream. Mylissa and Rob came up tonight. They were already here when we came home around 8:30. Maddy and Julie are so happy that they’re finally here.
