On Wednesday we woke up at 5:30 to make the hour long drive to Yellowstone. Day #1 saw all the big highlights: mud pots at West Thumb, Grand Prismatic Pool, Old Faithful, buffalo, waterfalls (though not the Upper and Lower Falls), elk, and so much more!
Don't jump in! Claire does, however, want to go scuba diving in these pots.
We hiked up to get an overview of Grand Prism. While there, we saw someone propose to his girlfriend! She said yes! What a beautiful place to propose, but the girls and I all decided it wouldn't be cool to be proposed to in front of so many people.
We just got lucky that White Dome Geyser was spraying while we drove by, but we quickly stopped and ran into the spray and got soaked! I think this was the favorite part of the trip for the girls- it was pretty fun!
Camille LOVED having her picture taken!
The first night we stayed at cabins on Yellowstone Lake. The next night we stayed at Mammoth Hot Springs.
