Saying goodbye to Grand Tetons with lattes and huckleberry lemonade. I want to stay here longer.

Hello Yellowstone National Park!

First Bison spotting in Yellowstone (we saw two in Grand Tetons yesterday)

Old Faithful

It feels really good to be in Yellowstone National Park! I have flashes of memories of being here when I was younger. Mom – how old was I when we were here?

Junior Ranger swearing in at Yellowstone. Caleb made friends with Ranger Bob.

Old Faithful from the other side

We did an awesome Ranger hike around the upper geyser basin. Ranger Fay was so interesting!

We love a good ranger program

It’s very cold here…

Finishing up with Jr Scientist program

Supper in the Old Faithful Inn Dining Room. It feels like we are in Chateau Montebello in Quebec.
