Saturday Day 8

It's been an eventful couple of days. We are just outside Yellowstone, which is nice to not have to drive far to get into the park. Once inside the park it is a drive to see anything which after as much driving as we've done in the last few days is not exactly what the boys want to do. They were troopers and went yesterday, we saw Old Faithful and a number of animals that were out and about including Buffalo, Elk, a Bear, a Coyote, an Eagle and some prairie dogs. We ate at a pizza place and we were able to watch the highlights of some World Cup games. We were in West Yellowstone so the kids did a little shopping at some of the stores. Ben Frazier an Wyatt bought matching moccasins. (how cute)

By the time we got back, Mom and Dad were at the campgrounds. Thank goodness they were able to get their truck fixed quickly and get back onto the road. Thank you Bozeman Ford Dealer! They had a few stressful days so they relaxed for the evening.
Early this morning Steve, Savy and I went into Yellowstone to try and see some animals. We ended up taking a different path than we started out for and saw the Yellowstone Grand Canyon and the Great Falls. We saw some huge bear tracks in the snow (yes, snow). On the way back we ended up seeing 4 bears total. Two together a cinnamon colored and a black bear and then two more black bears further along the road. As we got back Mom and Dad were just headed out to Yellowstone and I heard they saw a Grizzly and two cubs!
We had breakfast Tennant style this morning...Bacon, Eggs and toast at that campsite. I think we made quite a few of our neighbors very jealous!
The weather is awesome so we sat out in the sun for a little while and the boys all climbed a mountain this afternoon. This is the second time they have climbed it and they loved it! Oh, and Savy climbed it the first time too. Jordyn was the first one down but not sure it was by design from the amount of dirt and scrapes he got on the way down. Whoops.
Tonight we will have dinner sitting outside all together. Tomorrow we leave for Utah.
