We spent the next few days at Yellowstone. Dad got us two hotels inside the park which was perfect. We hiked the falls and saw all the geysers, including Old Faithful which was by far our kiddos' favorite. We also had many encounters with wildlife. We saw moose, in fact so close that the kids were chased back to the van by one. We also saw elk, deer, pronghorns, lots of bison again, and a mama black bear with her two cubs climbing a tree.
Today we shopped at Jackson Hole. There were so many fun shops and we found some great finds.
After a day yesterday driving we finally landed in Grand Teton National Park. We spent the day exploring the beautiful scenery. Dad was able to make it all the way up to the Inspiration Point. Kiddos decided they didn't want to hike it but climb and play with the rocks below.
We never captured a picture of the National Park sign, but today we spent our day hiking and driving around Custer State Park, and Needle's Eye. We also came across a ton of bison. Afterward, we went back to the hotel where the kids enjoyed swimming in the hotel pools.
Today we went to some of the most known places in South Dakota. We went and saw Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and explored the Black Hills. The kids' favorite part of the day was being able to take a piece of rock home from the explosions at Crazy Horse.
