Yellowstone

On Monday, Mom had to go get her broken nail fixed, so I walked around the grocery store next door.  We drove up to Idaho and had lunch in Soda Springs.  Daisy got sick in the car and threw up all over everything in the backseat, including Shadow.  While Dad and I were cleaning stuff up, the cows kept mooing and scaring the cats.  We ended up in Jackson Hole and stayed in the Virginian Lodge RV Park.  We had stayed in the Virginian Lodge in 2007, but had never stayed in the RV park before.  We were in spot 57.  We at dinner at Bubba's BBQ.  I had the garlic toast, corn on the cob, red potato salad, and smoked turkey.  We drove around town before returning to the trailer.  I read the book, Angela's Ashes.




On Tuesday, We went shopping in Town Square.  I bought some books.





 We drove and walked around the shops at Teton Village.


 We saw an accident between a bike and open air tour bus near Bar J Ranch.  We went and saw the town square shootout, where the Jackson Hole Playhouse players performed a number from Footloose.



  We walked around the shops.  We ate pizza and bread sticks at Pinky G's Pizzeria.  I read the book, Fisher of Men.



On Wednesday, we drove through Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park.



We drove up to West Yellowstone and stayed in the West Yellowstone KOA Park.   We were in spot 53.




 We saw The Playmill Theater production of Fiddler on the Roof.  We got a program and some fudge.




We ate dinner at the Slippery Otter Pub.  I had the fish and chips.  I read the book, House of Night: Marked.



We walked through the shops in West Yellowstone.



We saw The Playmill Theater production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast.  They sang happy anniversary to Mom and Dad.  We got some walnut fudge.



 We had dinner at The Gusher, ordering pizza and bread sticks.  The guy at the next table, worked with Dad at DISA.



On Friday, we drove to the Fishing Bridge RV Park.  I read the book, Things I Want My Daughters to Know.  We were in spot G-326 and were packed in like sardines.




We went to the Fishing Bridge General store.  I got a stone necklace, a shirt, a hoodie, and an Old Faithful pin.  We watched the movie, Oz the Great and Powerful.  Dad went to the amphitheatre to hear the ranger talk about the lake.


On Saturday, I read the book, Look Again.  We had to wait for a bison to cross the Fishing Bridge.


We went and saw Old Faithful and got a Huckleberry ice cream cone.





We walked through the gift shop and the general store.


We went to Biscuit Basin and saw the geysers.






 We went to West Thumb to see the geysers. Dad had a huge beetle on his back and I took a picture.






We went to Canyon Village and walked through the stores and museum.







 We went to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone to see the waterfalls.






We saw a bear cub playing in the water and hide behind the trees.



We went to the Mud Volcanoes to see the mud pots and Dragon's mouth.  Dad went to the amphitheatre to hear the ranger talk about the bison.






On Sunday, we drove back up to West Yellowstone and drove home through Island Park Idaho Falls.  I read the book, Wolves, Boys, and Other Things That Might Kill Me.
