Yellowstone


We spent the night at Seth and Jessica's after the Haunted Mill.
In the morning we awoke to the wonderful aroma of eggs, pancakes and bacon cooking.
Thank you Jessica, it was delicious.
Jessica asks, "What do you want to do, you want to go to Yellowstone?"
"Blue, you are going to see Old Faithful today."

Jessica was our navigator, but when we started talking about baby names we got side tracked.
She realized we were going east instead of north when I mentioned "Hatchet" because of a sign we had just passed.

Skipping rocks on Jackson Lake

Our only wild life we saw.
We made Troy very nervous taking pictures.
"Be careful, he is sneaking up then he is going to charge you."

We hopped in the car without food or very warm cloths, and it was freezing up there. Come 4 o'clock we were grateful for Jessica's pecan rolls that she brought.
We were starving by the time we had dinner with Seth and Wind in Driggs at 8 p.m.

Old Faithful

We had to get a souvenir at the gift store. I got a charm, Jess got a mug and candle and Blue wanted hand warmers.

Black Sand Basin


We had a great day with Jessica. She is a very easy person to be with, very pleasant and enjoyable. I was thinking how nice it is to feel so comfortable with her and that she would want to spend the day with her in-laws.

Troy kept us moving, he didn't let us spend too much time running around taking pictures. The Ranger station told us they were expecting snow and he knew that we had a 3 hr. drive back to Driggs and then another 3 hr. back home to Malad. And he was cold.

By the time we finished dinner at O'Rourkes it was pouring rain, and rained the whole way home. I could hardly believe that we had been to Old Faithful, it was so easy and fun.
We were saying, we need to make Yellowstone our next summer reunion spot.
