Yellowstone

So we ventured up to Yellowstone this weekend and had a really nice time. We left Saturday and drove up to Island Park where we took the kiddos to Big Springs, a family favorite of ours to go. We went to feed fish but ended up feeding a lot of the seagulls and a few muskrats. We took them up to Johnny Sacks cabin and let them go through it.
Next we drove up to West Yellowstone where we stayed at the Comfort Hotel. We then went and cruised the shops in West and let the kids get their souviners.

Next day we got up had breakfast, packed our lunch for the day and headed into the park. We took the lower route heading out to Cody. At first didn't see much . Did see the Yellowstone lake where the kids got to get out and throw rocks.

Next was the real treat. In all the years of going to Yellowstone I have NEVER seen a grizzly bear. Well not this year. We spotted a mama and two cubs in Hayden Valley on our way up the northern loop. I was excited!! Kids Had no idea why. We spotted the mountain sheep on the high cliffs. There were 5 and I think they were females and babies.
Next we went up to Mammoth on the north end. We saw a Coyote run right pass people and I think they thought it was a dog. We took a break and enjoyed an ice cream. Taylee liked that idea. On the way back to West  we spotted another Coyote and more bison. It was an exciting day for me. Loved seeing the bears.
