Idaho: Day 4 - Yellowstone










So today we went on the 11 hour journey through yellowstone. We didnt get to see all of it, but we got to see some pretty awesome stuff!! It started out with the first siting of a bald eagle in his nest. It was awesome! The rest of the day was filled with so many neat and awesome things i dont even know where to start explaining them! Well lets see, first i would like to start out with i am tired of sitting in cars. It seems like everywhere we go on this trip it is through a car, like we drive everywhere! it was definitely worth it today though. The morning started out a little rough, but soon got better. THe drive throughout yellowstone was extremely gorgeous. We got to see tons of wildlife. You can tell when wildlife is spotted, everyone pulls over! it can create quite a traffice jam! We saw tons of elk (or deer not sure which), and their babies. They were so cute!!! We also saw tons of bison (buffalo) and their young. I have never seen so many wild animals in my life!! Along with these we saw a grizzly bear, 2 sets of black bears, a coyote, birds, and the cutest ground squireel you will ever see, and i think thats it. Along side the wildlife was the gorgeous scenery. Throughout the day it threatened rain, and did rain a couple of times. Because of this rain we saw the most beautiful and perfect rainbow that i have ever seen! It had all colors that you normally expect to see in a rainbow. It was awesome!!! and the sunset was gorgeous!!!! Even though the ride got a little boring at times, we girls still found ways to make it interesting. From crazy talks int the car, singing the songs when they aint playing, to jumping off rocks for pictures and making faces! It has definitley been one of the best times in my life! The most interesting event of the day was when it snowed! When we entered the park the road was clear, but on our way out the sides of the road were pretty much covered in snow! it is the middle of june!!! It was the weirdest thing ever!!! but also very pretty, it gave the landscap a character that i never would have imagined. Well i think that is pretty much all that happened today, so im going to bed. Love you all =)
