Yellowstone

A few weeks ago my parents, my Uncle Clair, my brother Jacob, and Kam & I went to Yellowstone. It was so fun. Some may think Yellowstone is the last place on earth that could be fun. But going with my family it is a riot. I love to camp, yes in a tent. My mother in law spent a long time in Jerusalem and camped the whole time. So she has done her time. But every time we go camping she asks... in a tent. LOL she cracks me up. But anyways back to Yellowstone. We saw some amazing things. Geysers, waterfalls, buffalo, a bald eagle!!, deer, a momma bear with her cubs, and many other things. We went to see Old Faithful one day and Kamron was soooo disappointed. First we waited for about a hour to see it, and then when it went off it wasn't that great. "He was like really that's it?" and I was like "what were you expecting the Billagio Fountains?" haha he was like umm.. kind of. But it was just amazing what is below the surface of earth. Here are some highlight photos from our trip.

The guys cutting the firewood. So the little visitor center sells firewood for $7 for a package. Ok really??!! There is wood all around you why would you pay $7 for like 4 logs? So the guys drove like down the road found a tree that had fallen and cut it up for FREE!! The poor people next to us were from France and they bought the wood. Silly French people. I was surprised by how many people were there from around the world. Seriously people save to come to Yellowstone. That is how amazing it is.

No make up for 3 days. It was wonderful.

Yep that's Old Faithful in the background.

Bald Eagle

Buffalo. There were signs ALLLL over the park saying not to approach the Buffalo. We went to a little presentation one night in the amphitheater and they said to stay like 150 feet or something like that. Anyway it was just funny that people are that stupid to approach a wild animal that is 10000 times their size.

Hey, this is Harry, I am Kam's classmate. I know you didn't stop at the Bald Eagle nest on the highway into Yellowstone, right?
It's amazing the traffic jam that sign that says "don't stop, eagle rehab nest" causes.
I waited 45 minutes in traffic to pass the empty nest but we saw the bird on the way out.
