Something You Don't See Everyday

So we are in the RV for the evening. Gary and the boys are watching a DVD. I'm looking at our trip details when I see something out the front window

Oh, it's just a herd of buffalo mamas and babies grazing through our campground in Yellowstone.

That's our site's picnic table. Seems they wandered up from our backyard.

See that look on Jack's face? He is trying to smile and be brave, but it is really a look of total fear. You see, all over the park you find all of these signs warning you to stay away from the wildlife. Big fines and trouble if they catch you near the wildlife. When you enter they even give you a flier with a graphic drawing of a man being gored by a buffalo. But you can't really stay away from them if they are 5 feet from your RV!

So we cautiously stayed behind our vehicle while the buffalo passed us by. As the last 2 were walking away, we told Jack to run out there so we could take his picture with them. Don't worry Mom. They were farther away than they look and they didn't even notice us.

I love all the geothermal spots in the park. So many colors.

I would like to brag about my wicked photography skills, but honestly, it is impossible to take a bad picture in this place.

One more and then we are done for now. Grand Teton National Park.

After this photo was taken, we started yodeling.

So glad you're posting from the road--love this post! What an amazing family photo (can you say, "Christmas card photo, check!"?). And of course love the so-very-Lori comment to end it all. :)

Miss you!! When am I coming to Florida? ;)
