Yellowstone - June 1st and 2nd

We drove to West Yellowstone on Monday, June 1st. We went to the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center the next morning. That was the only place we saw bears while we were there.



We also got to see a couple wolf packs. This wolf would come right up to the window. The girls loved to watch him.


As we were driving into Yellowstone, there was a bison next to the road. We were following Brian's parents and missed it. They stopped and we turned around. It was right next to the road! I don't know how we missed it. We were glad we turned around to see it. We didnt' know at the time we we would be seeing tons more! It got to the point where we wouldn't even stop anymore!
Here is a herd of bison.
We stopped at Old Faithful. Because the weather was so cloudy and rainy, it was hard to see. We ended up going back another day (pictures to come in another post!)


We also saw a lot of elk.


Here's Elizabeth sleeping in the car. She fought it for as long as possible every afternoon. She didn't want to miss anything!


Abby had lots of fun!

There were several areas of road construction while we were there. We took a picture of this elk crossing the road. Behind it is a sign that says "EXPECT 30 MIN. DELAYS". We did have to wait for a while a few times, but not because of the elk or other wildlife!
