One brave fox!

He came right up onto our balcony and peered inside the living room at us a few times. :) Poor guy was pretty scrawny too, probably looking for some food. :/

Yellowstone Lake

I think today was our longest drive of the trip, around to the east side of the park to see the Lake. We also visited the Sulphur Caldron/Mud Volcano area, saw some rapids, more cool wildlife and gorgeous scenery all along the way.

I've been so impressed with how well the boys are behaving this trip. Especially Logan, since we're walking about 2 miles a day, which he's doing all on his own!  (Callum is doing fairly well too but tires out much sooner of course! So we finish his walks either in the stroller or with Jon carrying him)

The grand finale: Old Faithful

Logan and I saw Old Faithful spout off THREE times this afternoon, and they were all fantastic! (everyone else only saw it spout twice - haha!)

In between wait times, we explored the Visitor Center, had lunch at the famous Old Faithful Inn and walked all around the surrounding Geyser Hill (which had several other geysers, springs and pools to see!). :)

Next stop: Black Sand Basin

Interestingly, hardly any black sand around this area. :)

This is a shot of Emerald Pool, one of my favorite shots today.

First stop: Biscuit Basin

Sapphire Pool, one of the larger features at Biscuit Basin. 

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!
