Yellowstone Safari...

Today we started our family vacation. We went into Yellowstone National Park on search of some animals and some good fishing streams. We drove through the park from 9:00 a.m. and returned home at around 5:30 (we didn't even see 1/10th of the park yet). I was amazed at the natural wonders and beauty here. It is stunning! After entering the gates of Yellowstone, we saw the famous bald eagle mommy and her baby in the nest trying to fly. The birds are enormous! All the animals look like they are on steroids. We ended up seeing several bison, elk, chipmunks, birds, and coyote. Tomorrow is the rodeo in Ennis.


Tyler and Dad sleeping this morning.


Here we go...

A yearling (baby elk) walking through the meadow.

We saw so many bison (buffalo) today. They were grazing all over the park. These huge animals are amazing!

We went to Old Faithful Geyser and had lunch there. An amazing sight to see in person!
