Yellowstone Part II

On our second day in Yellowstone we covered the southern portion of the park-ie, fewer animal sightings and way more geysers and hot pots.

Old Faithful
Kind of anti-climatic, but hey, now we can say we've seen it.


 Grand Prismatic Spring 
Blue smoke!  
This one was kind of a mystery to me.  They have gone to great lengths to build and maintain a walkway up to this pool, but unless you are 10 feet tall, you can't really see how cool this is.  It takes a helicopter ride or the internet to give you the real view:

From West Thumb we continued south out of the park to see the Tetons and Jackson Hole.


I LOVE the Tetons!

No trip to Rexburg is complete without a trip to my favorite frozen yogurt on the planet-Millhollow!  


 It has not changed one single bit in (almost) 25 years.


 On our way home, just outside of Idaho Falls and luckily near civilization we got a nice flat tire.  Drove over a screw that popped the tire in two places.




While we waited on the side of the road for our Uber, this was our beautiful view.
It was a gorgeous day and all in all the flat took only an hour and a half to get fixed.

Our last stop  on the trip was a river in the middle of nowhere so Reagan could look for rocks-he's really into geology.  


The trip was a great success.  The only thing missing was a Moose sighting.  
Guess we'll have to go back!

When Reagan got home, he started his first job at Papa Murphy's!

I have a picture of Dad standing at that same place in the Tetons that has Rock and Reagan and some sign about drones. Only he had a sign telling us that the park was closed because of the shut down.
