Throughout the time that we were in the park this weekend we saw buffalo, elk, a coyote, a huge wolf, bald eagles, pronghorns, cranes, squirrels, and ducks.
On Friday the other Reading clan (Jeffrey, Keri, and Maddie) joined us. We began our day by seeing Old Faithful and the geysers around it.
Natalie sure enjoyed having her cousin with her throughout this trip!
Then we hiked to Lone Star Geyser.
Mike and Natalie hiking to Lone Star Geyser.
The two kiddos were so tired that they eventually gave in and took naps and let their daddies do all the hard work.
We took our picture with the Lone Star Geyser while it was doing one of it's minor eruptions.
Lone Star Geyser is an awesome geyser that has a couple of minor eruptions and then a major eruption. The major eruption happens about every 3 hours and after it is done it has a huge steam let off. It was an impressive sight watching it all!
On Saturday we went to Mammoth Hot Springs and wandered around. We did the lower and upper terraces area near there.
Mike and I got a kick out of watching other people's reactions when they saw Maddie pushing her baby around in her stroller. Maddie had to have her stroller since Natalie was in hers.

It was a fun trip and nice to get away for a bit. But it sure was nice coming home to our own bed! We enjoyed having the other Reading clan with us. Going to Yellowstone was a great way to begin our summer fun!
