Yellowstone for Free

Saturday we went up to Yellowstone on the free admission day. We thought that it would be really busy but it wasn't bad at all.

Just thought they were cute little birds
That is a really yummy sandwich, Thanks!
We traveled up to our favorite picnic spot "Annapolis Spring". It was a little cold, but the kids did eat faster than normal so they could get back in the car. The best part of the picnic was the little birds that hung around trying to get any food we may drop. Delwyn left his freshly made sandwich on the table to throw some garbage away and the birds quickly started to eat it, needless to say he didn't eat it.

We then drove almost up to Mammoth and then turned around to head back to "Old Faithful", because Kylynn really wanted to see it. Like usual we missed it and had to sit around in the cold waiting for it to go off again. We ran into my friend from work Micky and her family and visited with them while we waited. They let us know that "Great Fountain Geyser" was due to go off around 4 pm so we headed that way. Just as we pulled up it started to go off, it was the first time we had ever seen it go off.  Then we went to the next geyser along the road "White Dome Geyser" and it started to go off it was neat to see something we had never seen before.

 The only animals we saw were 1 elk and hundreds of bison. It was a fun day despite the cold weather.
