Through Yellowstone.

We drove into Yellowstone listening to one of those CD audio tours.  Very interesting but also very disturbing.  There were numerous horror stories of small children, adults, and dogs wandering into the painted pots or hot springs and boiling to death.  Even though there were fences everywhere, we did not let Zachary be on the ground anywhere near those death traps! The springs were gorgeous, but stinky. The clear blue water looked inviting, but those pools are 160degrees! Walking the boardwalk along Yellowstone Lake. Zachary wanted to go for a swim in the lake.  Or at least go down to the water’s edge and throw rocks in. Away from the hot springs and free to run, run, run! At Old Faithful, he was much more interested in the sandy gravel than the actual geyser. Waiting for the show to begin. We drove the lower half of Yellowstone, through Montana, and into Idaho where we set up camp at Henry’s Lake State Park.  Zachy loved playing in the dirt and got filthy dirty! Dirty from head to toes…  We found dirt in his socks! Zachary loves the camping lifestyle – being outdoors, watching the fire, listening to birds and airplanes fly overhead.He loved his little chair and getting in and out of it over and over and over again.  Marshmallows are tasty!
