Last week we took a trip up to yellowstone, about 5 hours away. On the way there is a place called Bear World. They have lots of bears and animals that you can see. You drive around this course 3-5 mph. They told us not to stop because they bears like to climb on cars and pop tires. So as Morgan was driving there was a bear crossing the road. We tried to avoid him but he walked in front of our car! So we stopped and it changed direction and started walking toward us. So Morgan quickly reversed the car and changed direction with no further incident. This is Lizzy's rendition of that event:
There was a petting zoo with a PIG! And several ducks, chickens, goats, and deer. Bear world was great. There were a few carnival rides, too! Kids loved that. They also loved going swimming at the pool at the hotel.
I thought Yellowstone was fascinating. This is a hot pool. The blue is suppose to be about 200 degrees Fahrenheit! There was a faint scent of sulfur. It wasn't bad at all. We also saw boiling mud and geysers including Old Faithful. Fascinating! There is all this geothermal activity because Yellowstone is a huge active volcano. There is no lava, though.
