Yellowstone

This will be a really brief update because I am supposed to be helping clean out the trailer. All eight of us went in the Suburban with the trailer in tow. Susanne and Allie slept in a small tent while the rest of us slept in the trailer. It is about a 5 hour drive but with two babies and construction we took about 6. The drive home was much worse. There was construction from Tremonton on and it took 2 1/2 hours just for that short stretch. It was an 8 1/2 hour day with two kids that were already tired of the car. Ya-ping did not like the trip very well. There were a few things she really liked but she doesn't plan on going back any day soon.
She is not a traveler or a camper and this involved both.
We visited many of our favorite sites and one new one....The brink of the upper falls. It was spectacular! We also got lucky enough to see a grizzly mama and two baby bears. They were quite a distance from the road but some nice people let us use their spotting scope to see better. We went to three nights of ranger talks by our campground. That was really fun. We learned a lot about the animal life, esp. the reintroduction of the wolves, the first two nights and the last night was more focused on geology and plant and animal adaptations.
We are home safe and are still friends with each other. That is nothing short of miraculous.
