Yellowstone

Traveling back from the family reunion we wanted to take the kids to Yellowstone, Devils Tower, and Mt. Rushmore.  We were able to visit two of the three because of a huge thunderstorm that followed us from Devils Tower in Wyoming to through the entire state of South Dakota!

As we drove up to Old Faithful it was erupting and so we got a great view of how very tall it can be.  We learned all kinds of myths and facts about it as we traveled through the park and when we got there the kids were really excited.

Hard to get that many kids to look the same directions and look grumpy!

We thought the deposits were really cool.

We drove around Yellowstone Lake for what seemed like forever and only really covered about a 1/3 of it – it is very beautiful!

Leaving Yellowstone and heading towards Cody we encountered some amazing passes!
