After Grand Prismatic Springs we made our way to Old Faithful. Once we made it to the visitor center, we signed the girls up for their Jr Ranger Program. Joanna had no clue what was going on, but Vivian enjoyed it. The girls filled out their booklet, listened to the national park ranger, then were sworn in as an 'official' Jr National Park Ranger. It was really cute and the girls were happy to receive their badge.
During the ranger's talk about the difference between black and grizzly bears with the kids, it was time for Old Faithful to erupt. The girls were completely uninterested in watching Old Faithful. They only cared about playing with sticks, dirt and rocks. Those little rascals! After OF, we stopped by the Madison River then took the girls into town (West Yellowstone) to play on the playground and get ice cream. All they cared about during our entire time HA! Typical kids!
Since we only spent one day inside Yellowstone National Park, I'm glad we were able to see what we did see. Yellowstone is so big there was no way to see everything in the short amount of time we had. It would have been fun seeing all of the wildlife in Lamar Valley, but we did take the girls to the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center which was really neat. I'll do a separate post for that one as well.
^^ Huckleberry ice cream, yum!!
