Snaffu in the Plan

So this morning was a bit of a disaster. Mom called Joan just to say hi and we figured out that Papa thought the trip was NEXT WEEK instead of this week. Therefore, his flight and all the reservations he made were for next week. He managed to change his flight to tomorrow so he'll still get here *almost* on time (midnight instead of noon), but we wanted to get to Yellowstone before we had to get Zac to Boise on Tuesday night, so we took off today and we'll drive back to Missoula tomorrow to pick up Papa.

Therefore, we are in Yellowstone tonight and tomorrow.

We didn't make it all the way out to Old Faithful tonight, but we did make it to some steam pots which was very cool! And we were very up close and personal to some bison which was a bit sketchy, but still very interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a bison that close up before.

The other parts of Yellowstone that we saw today were also very incredible. We saw boiling mud and "mini" geysers (apparently Old Faithful is MUCH bigger). And before we got to the park, we passed Hebgen Lake, which was absolutely breathtaking. It was so gorgeous!

i love the part of the world i chose to live in. <3
