More hot water!

Today we explored more hot water - geysers, springs and mud pots. Every single one was super neat! 

We started off on a drive around the Firehole Falls (not hot, but still plenty of water!) and then spent most of our day exploring the Lower and Midway Geyser Basins, which included the Grand Prismatic Spring, the Great Fountain Geyser, the Firehole (hot) Lake and the Fountain Paint Pots.

Callum liked to warn me about the hot water (guess what I was warning him of!) while Logan noticed all of the steam made the areas look like a haunted house. :)

Midway Geyser Basin

The colors of this spring (Grand Prismatic Spring) were amazing!

Peeping Tom

Some excitement at the house this evening as a ton of Bison traveled across our yard. Jon got mad at me for taking pics of this guy since he could easily break thru the window if he had wanted to. As you can see, he was close enough to be fogging up the glass! :)

Visitors

Underneath our balcony and in our backyard when we got home. :)

Loganisms today

1) Mom, I want to stay at our vacation house FOREVER.

2) To Jill:

You're old because you have a lot of spots.

(We think he was talking about her moles. Poor Jill!)

Big brother Logan

Logan is pretty popular as the big kid in the house. Here Trent decided he'd make a comfy chair out of Logan, who didn't even stir or blink at the idea. ;-)

Mammoth Hot Springs

We covered a lot of terrain today during our first park visit! Saw tons of bison (got held up in a traffic jam while a herd decided to use our lane as theirs) :) , a herd of deer, a pronghorn (I think) and some magpies picking up a few of our picnic leftovers.

We spent most of our time exploring Mammoth Hot Springs. The entire area smells of sulfur, which Logan noticed smells a lot like Daddy had farted. ;-)
