You know what's a good idea? Taking your kids out of school their first week for a trip. Honestly, it's awesome! Crowds are down, and what are they REALLY missing? One of my favorite people, Sarah, was taking her kids and invited us along. Who can say no to a free cabin? So we packed ourselves up and made the drive.
Once we made it to West Yellowstone, we decided to go into the park and visit some of the geysers. And what do you know, it was the centennial of the National Parks system, so we got in free! Our first stop was at the Fountain Paint Pots.
We then headed to Old Faithful and did a quick hike around the area while we waited for it to erupt. That was really when Jack figured out what those geysers smelled like.
From there, we made a quick stop at Grand Prismatic. It was definitely my favorite.
That night, we met Sarah, along with her kids Violet and Jack (love the names!) and had dinner at a pizza place. While they went to a play, we went on to the cabin. And let me say, that cabin was old-timey-tastic. Lots of shag carpeting, wood paneling, and home-made signs with things like "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie," painted on them. Jack promptly proclaimed it as the "most beautiful" cabin he had ever seen. It took a while for everyone to calm down (and for Bryce and I to carefully check the sheets), but we soon were all in bed and happily asleep.
