And this is our last full day in Yellowstone. We drive through it one last time on our way out, but this is the last "real" sightseeing day. *sigh* It was a really great day though. We drove down to Norris (see map here), dropped the boys off for a bikeride, and kept going, visiting all the paintpot/geyser stops along the way (boardwalks! Mom LOVED the boardwalks! You could get right up to the geysers and walk all around the paintpots). We saw the most adorable coyote on this drive! And lots of buffalo. Met the boys down at Old Faithful, and then made a big loop back up the eastern side and to our cabin. Stopped several places along the way, including a beautiful place by the Yellowstone lake that also has lots of paintpots and hot springs. The highlight was coming around a turn in the road on a more desolate part of the park, and seeing a GRIZZLY! He was just lumbering along, not paying any attention to us. It was SO NEAT!!! He was the one animal that we all really wanted to see, but hadn't yet, so it was a special "last day" present from the Lord that we got to see him.
So we got home pretty late that day, and did our best to pack up what we could. *sniff sniff* Everyone was car-tired and sad that this was our last night in our cabin. But had no trouble whatsoever falling asleep!!
