Day 10 of 15. Part 1

Yellowstone, finally!!

Started the day with a pastry the size of my face. Fueled up; but maybe not the type to play 60.

At the gate: “Can we have a map please?” Old school and not afraid to show it.

Within an hour we had a grizzly about 40 feet off the road. Everyone in the car whispered like he could hear us through the glass until Jack is filming on his iPad like 20 feet away from the bear😖🤦‍♂️

Raced to Old Faithful. “Did we make it in time?” We did. It erupted. I’ve heard the law is you must leave the area immediately after Old Faithful goes off😂

Somewhere in the crowd Annie zipped a child into her hoodie. “Conjoined twins.” Our kids worst nightmare but moms biggest dream!”

Bison. Mammoth Hot Springs. Roosevelt Arch in the rain.
Ended at a gelato shop. “What’s the winner?” Still being debated.
