Vacation 2011 Day 7

Day 7 of vacation was spent in Yellowstone.  We explored for the whole day…

682 Casper learned to use the spotting scope, they tried looking for bears in the distance but found a badger instead.

We also saw a Coyote

In two different places we saw beautiful Elk still in velvet…the Elk in the first picture had a ranger standing near by.  We couldn’t figure out why until we heard later that a hiker had been attacked by a bear on a nearby trail.  I’m glad we didn’t know while we were in the area.

Casper and Daddy climbed mountains and played in the snow.

Of course we visited the upper and lower falls of the Yellowstone river, Casper wanted to see them so bad and then just kept saying that they were noisy.  On the way out of the park we stopped to see Old Faithful and do a little souvenir shopping.  Casper loves to tell people about the geyser and how it went up, up, up in the sky.

After Old Faithful, we headed down to the Grand Tetons.  Casper and Daddy enjoyed throwing rocks into the lake near our Campground.  I think they could have kept it up for hours.
