Yellowstone Epic Vacation - Day Four


 Day Four began with an early morning trek to see some more wildlife.  I was a teeny bit disappointed I didn't get to see a moose (what is the plural of moose anyway?  Meece? Mooses? Mice?), but we saw another few buffalo REALLY close:

Yup...still hideously ugly.

Next up was Artist's Point, which offered a phenomenal view of The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone:
And this guy's pretty phenomenal looking too:




We had some spare time, so we let Cole run around on his unsteady little legs - he gained MANY admiring smiles from strangers while toddling around:

Then we drove over to the other side to view Lower Falls.  My nephew JJ:

Chris' mom isn't too excited about heights - we had to do some "encouraging":




Cole enjoyed the water:



But seriously guys, this kid was way more impressed with ROCKS.  I know, surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery on the planet, that people travel from all over the world to come view, and Cole gets most excited about a handful of ROCKS.  That's kids for ya.

Then we saw more hot springs:


Cole wasn't too sure about how much he liked the sulfur smell of the hot springs:


And since we were all pooped, we went back to the hotel and went swimming:


Which was torturous for Cole, as you can tell from the photos!

Our last day in Yellowstone, coming up tomorrow!
