Today we spent the entire day in Yellowstone National Park. We made the big or grand loop. The kids have never been to the park so they were in awe the whole time.
We first went to the West Thumb Basin. We saw mud pots, and some hot springs. As we made our Jayden, Shaelyn and I made the loop around the whole thing we were stopped by a ranger and told to turn around. There was an elk that wouldn't let anyone go through a section of the path. This meant that we needed to back the way we came. 
We then stopped at the falls. We walked down to the upper falls and took some pictures. We also went to the Tower Falls. All of these falls are beautiful. We were a little dissapointed when we walked down the massive trail to Tower falls and was unable to view the fall from the bottom due to erosion of the trail. It was good excersise though. 
Our next great sighting was on our travels after Tower Falls. We came upon a traffic jam in the park. As we moved through the jam we noticed a black bear and two cubs. We had been trying to see a bear for three days (scavenger hunt). We were all so excited to see them. It made our day!
After we made it through the bear sighting we worked our way through the park. We stopped at some bull elk on the side of the road. Me and the boys were able to get pretty close to these big bulls.
We stopped at Mammoth Springs and walked around for awhile. By this time we were tired. After Mammoth Springs we traveled on to our stopping spot for the night. We stayed at a KOA in West Yellowstone which is located in Montana. This meant we were able to get another picture of the kids with a state sign.
