After Breakfast the grown ups decided to head out. Now Mommy and Daddy wanted to take us some place very special. Some place they had been to a hundred times, but have never had the chance to show us. Some place truly beautiful.
The World's First National Park.
This was my initial reaction to having to get back in the car. Do NOT make me hold my bladder again for two hours or so help me!
I tried to get Ryker to join my side, but they bribed him with some yummy caramel flavored rice cakes.
But we soon discovered why everyone wanted to come. To see cars parked on the side of the road.
Just kidding, but those parked cars did warn us that there would wildlife to see (the elk, not the other crazy tourists, come on guys.)
And we got to see some of these (buffaloes if you can't tell). And no, we did not get out of the car and start chasing them. Grandpa is a smart man and just drives by slowly with the window down.
Unfortunately though, sometimes when we got stuck behind cars it wasn't for wildlife. Nope, just everyday road construction.
Of course, we took the opportunity to have a yummy outdoor picnic. Ryker and I were so glad to have such great break (there was a really nice restroom nearby).
More wildlife (The elk, not the guy in the white t-shirt).
Then we saw this cool vehicle. Next year maybe.
The flowers were all over (trust me, if we had stopped every time Mommy saw some pretty flowers to take pictures of, goodness).
We of course saw tons of this, the smell is definitely something I will never forget.
Last of all is this. Mommy's family was camping in Yellowstone the day the 1988 fire started. So to Mommy, seeing all the new growth surrounding the burnt trees is awesome.
Ryker and I can't wait to come back.

You make me want to see Yellowstone more than ever now. Someday, maybe Dan & I will make it.
Glad you guys got to see so much wildlife while you were there. It's a bummer when you go to Yellowstone and don't see many animals.
