Day 8&9- Travel day and Yellowstone

Our finally destination, and kind of a halfway point in between Glacier and home, was Yellowstone. This it the third time we have been to Yellowstone in the last 2 years, but it was fun to see a part of the Park that we haven't seen before. Our first stop in the park was Boiling River. It is the only place in the park where you can swim. One of the geysers runs off into a river, so the really hot water mixes with the cold river water to make the water temperature quite pleasant. We weren't sure of how deep it would be and how much swimming it actually required, so Danny and I didn't bother changing into swimsuits. The kids did, and they had fun.

We got to see a little bit of wildlife here, as well.

 I love how blue the water looks in these pictures. It matches Ashley's shirt perfectly.

It was really crowded in the park this day, so we did more driving and less stopping then we would have normally done. I would have liked to see the Canyon area again, but we didn't want to fight the crowds. We opted instead to head back to the KOA earlier for a campfire, smores, and playtime at the park.
