A Quick Trip to Yellowstone

After Tom's memorial service in Idaho Steve and I decided to take a couple of days and visit Yellowstone National Park.  I hadn't been there in years, so it seemed like a great way to end our summer before the new school year started. 

Clowning around!

That's what I call a lot of antlers!
This is Jackson Hole, Wyoming right outside Yellowstone.

We were excited to finally arrive at Yellowstone;
couldn't resist taking a picture!

Gorgeous country!

Old Faithful

Steve and I ate lunch on the balcony of the
Yellowstone Lodge, played Scrabble, and
watched Old Faithful go off twice.


We saw lots of hot springs, geysers, mud pots, and caldrons.
I learned at a ranger meeting that the activity going
on in Yellowstone is connected to the activity
going on in Hawaii.  I guess it's all the same tubing
inside the earth.

Steve by a mud pot; it was bubbling and very, very hot!

This is the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone;
it's completely beautiful!
