More Yellowstone

Before I share more photos, I also want to share the USA license plate game with others who have no clue what it is (thanks Nellie - I think you told us about this road trip game). As we walked back to our car to return home from the middle of the park we noticed lots of license plates from different states - and so began trying to spot one from each state. Four hours later (including stops for a waterfall, thermal walk, and icecream top) as we pulled up home, we had ticked off 33 out of 50 states. Not bad for novices - helped by it being the middle of smmer vacation in a popular national park. This game totally appeals to my list making and ticking off gene (which I have soooo passed on to Lily - ha!). Next time we might even download an app for this game!

Here are a few more pictures of Yellowstone - the not-so-geothermal parts:

Photo bomb?

This is how big a bison is...

And in real life (without the child for scale...)

New binoculars - in search of anything

We found a waterfall

....and a stream

At another waterfall as the junior ranger does her stuff

More streams...which became a waterfall right near where we stood
