Learning to Let Go, On the Go.
Friday, July 19, 2013
Yesterday, we left Yellowstone and headed north to Great Falls, Montana to visit the Lewis and Clark Interprative Center. Our kids and I had school time. We spent time learning about Lewis and Clark, as well as, the basics. It was the smoothiest day so far. We are all adjusting to Mommy being the teacher. We stopped in Helena, MT for dinner.
Godfather’s Pizza! Oh, it tasted so good!!
Monday: Norris Geyser Basin(saw hot springs, mud pots and geysers). Steamboat Geyser, is the tallest geyser in the world and it last blew in 2005. Kane wanted to stick around to wait for it to go again. We got to see it sputter a bit, but that was all.
Stopped at SheepEaters Cliff for a picnic and some unexpected rock climbing(if there are rocks, he will climb).
Mammoth Hot Springs
TUESDAY: We met the Embleton Family at the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. It was so wonderful seeing friends from home!
WEDNESDAY: Joffe Lake(fishing and saw Black Bear) and swimming at Firehole River.
THURSDAY: Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic, Yellowstone Lake
Sunday, July 14th YELLOWSTONE
We arrived at Yellowstone Sunday afternoon. I was amazed by the size and beauty of Yellowstone Lake as we drove to our campground in Yellowstone. We stayed at Fishing Bridge RV park Loop B #61 on end. While we were getting settled, the kiddos were drawn to the woods where there was tons of sticks. They had a blast making a fort!
We attended a Ranger program, at Mud Volcano that was awesome. The ranger had been a seasonal ranger there since 1970, so he had great stories to share. We learned, we definitely do not want to fall into the water(it is boiling hot). Our favorite was Dragon’s Mouth, which is a hot spring. The mud pots were burping and belching which the kids loved!
