Wow! Yellowstone far exceeded any expectations I ever had. The sights are indescribable, no picture can do it justice. The weather has been great & allowing us to do almost everything we hoped while in the park. Seeing a herd of bison walk behind our RV was a hit. The kids were giggling & so excited. We also checked a bear off our list of must see animals. He was walking right beside the RV.
Grand Prismatic Spring was a beauty. We got hit with a small rain shower just after we arrived but it didn't stop us from hiking up the mountain a bit for the best view of the spring. Crazy how blue the water is.
The kids were troopers! Definitely worth the hike up.
We spent two more nights in West Yellowstone at a KOA after leaving the Hebgen Lake campgrounds. So much to do at the KOA's. The kids loved renting bikes & exploring the campgrounds. After all the running & park time during the days, it was nice to just park, camp & relax in the afternoons/evenings.
Before we left the kids worked so hard on a camp sign for the trip on a large white sheet. Love how cute it is & that they all worked on it together. We hung it up at our camp each night {as long as it wasn't raining} Love these kiddos. 
A night of rain didn't stop us adults from playing cards. Kids watched a movie in the RV while we played cards. Happy Campers!
Trip to Yellowstone is not complete without seeing Old Faithful! Maeve was NOT a fan of the geyser smells. Honestly it was pretty strong, but not much we could do. Just crazy to see/feel/smell so much heat & gas coming out of the earth.
Waiting for Old Faithful to erupt. It took about 40 mins from when we arrived. There was lots to explore around it while we waited. 
Old Faithful erupting in the middle & other geyser/hot spring pics...
The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone was nothing short of amazing. We hiked up pretty far for the most amazing view & were basically standing on top of the lower falls. Couldn't get much closer to the water.
We spend quite some time near the top of the waterfall. All blown away by the view & how beautiful it was.
So many laughs/compliments on our RV Trippin' shirts too! 
Crazy how beautiful it was up there.
Sad to be leaving but we enjoyed every minute of our time in Yellowstone. {Well except maybe the 45 min of being terrified while driving up Beartooth} Although we could probably spend 2 weeks here, we definitely checked off all of our must see items in the park. 
On to the Tetons!
