Yellowstone


As you all know, we went to Yellowstone for five days with Grandma and Grandpa. They were so excited about going! We headed out, towing their little car behind. We stopped in to see John and Elaine Wilker and told Steve it was the primo opportunity to gossip all about him (not really, but it was fun to catch up with them.) Yellowstone itself was gorgeous. Since we were there so early in the season there were many animals, most memorably a buffalo who jumped right up on the boardwalk and briefly trapped about ten tourists along with us there at a dead end over a boiling pool of water. Fortunately, he didn't feel like charging us, so after a bit, he jumped off and headed away from us. We were there so early in the season that the Canyonlands visitor center had been open for exactly 10 minutes into the year when we arrived! After a stop at the Grand Tetons, we headed home. In all a great trip and a fine time had by all.
