Why go to Yellowstone and drive 14 hours to get there?
You throw rocks of course!
What do you do when you get to Old Faithful? Any one, any one?
Play in the rocks of course!
Baby Kale wasn't feeling well. But we had to keep going, I'm such a mean mom!
Don't worry we gave him ice cream and he cheered up. Probably because it cooled his fever down.
It's a tradition to get chocolate malt ice cream frm a shop in Yellowstone and I forced everyone to eat it with the wooden sticks it comes with because everything tastes better as you struggle to eat with a wooden stick.
After going around Yellowstone for a couple days we were sick of not seeing any animals!!! So finally found the best places and the right time of day.
Right before it gets dark and by the water is where we found the beasts! So we got out of the car and started to walk to see them better.
We saw them from a far but they were starting to come our way so we returned to the car.
And eat our sandwiches.
And that's when they started to get too close for my comfort.
And that's when it happened, they were crossing the street. I said let's start driving but it was too late. The buffalo were on the left side of our car, right side, front and behind. Let me tell you I was yelling in that car telling everyone to be quiet, roll up the windows! This happened to Evan and I 6 years ago when we were dating and apparently you just get worse with age because I was not calm!
This buffalo passed in front of our car and I was getting nervous that he would get mad and take out our car.
When it was all over Connor says to me "that was a close one mom" And that is coming from a kid who has a speech problem, thank you Colorado schools. They are the best!! But if he knew it was a close call then I was okay to freak out, right?
