OK...I was chastised today for waiting too long in between blogs! Sorry about that. Poor internet at the last campground and then the arrival of Auntie Missy have put me behind in my work!!
Anyway, Auntie Missy arrived safely on Thursday afternoon around 4:30. We weren't expecting her until much later, so it was a wonderful to have her here a little sooner. We just hung out and visited that evening.
Friday morning, we got everyone up early, showed Auntie Missy how to put the camper down and headed out. We took a scenic float trip down the Snake River thru the Teton Valley. It was a glorious morning and our guide was very informative. We saw some bald eagle and a couple of other things - deer, crane, etc. No big wildlife! We really enjoyed being on the water. After the trip we headed out to Yellowstone. When we came into the park we stopped at Old Faithful. We were lucky and got there about 20 minutes before she was predicted to errupt. It was beautiful. Melissa said that she felt like she was living a dream! On our drive to the campsite, we were in a little traffic jam because there was a herd of Bison on the road. Despite all of the warnings, people were out of their cars and trying to get up close and personnal! Idiots!
Once we got to the campsite and got set up, Auntie Missy pulled out the Carne Asada, fresh avocadoes, raw tortillas, etc. ! We were definitely happy campers at dinner!!! Tthen this morning she made breakfast burritoes with the leftover tortillas. YUM!!! Were have been very spoiled!
Today we went up to Mammoth Hot Springs and did a little site seeing. It was a walk up and down the terraces, thru the springs, pools, etc. It is a dry year, but we still saw lots of color and formations. After a picnic and a walk thru the Visitor's Center, we went to Norris Geyser Basin. We saw some steam vents and a couple of active geysers. All in all a great day! The pictures do not do it justice, but we tried.
