Day 2 of the GREAT Adventure

On Day 2 of our trip, we travelled from Butte, MT to Yellowstone National Park and stayed at the Canyon Lodge, thanks to Ty. I planned to sleep in a campground, but after taking an hour to pack up from the previous night I am sure glad Ty called about getting a room. The kids enjoyed splashing in the bath tub and a cafeteria style dinner. We were even graced with a bison outside of our lodge throughout the evening and he was even there in the morning.

Baby Arya sleeps through dinner in the cafeteria -- it was very warm. Poor thing.

This was the first "animal sighting". So I grabbed the 3 kids and we got out to look from the bridge. Bad idea -- an elk and its baby had been snacking at a picnic table and then decided to cross the road within 50 yards of us. I was a little freaked but there were plenty of park rangers there and lots of stopped cars and lookee louies, just like me!

The kids picked out their own shirts and make good choices!
