The Seven Days of Summer Special-Day 2

Take A Hike
One of my favorite traditions happens weekly. That means this last summer it happened six times. On sundays we get to go into the park. Yellowstone National Park. Unlike other visitors, we have been through the park more times than we can count. Bison are a common sight. Elk are nothing to stop for. The only animal that would give us a surge of excitement is a bear. We have seen old faithful in all of its faithfulness an unnumbered amount of times. (Want to know something that makes me laugh. When people are waiting around for Old Faithful and they lack faith. They turn to each other and say maybe this time it won't go off. Yeah I bet they would love to be part of the crowd that witnessed Old Faithfuls death. It is called old faithful for a reason folks :) We have also hit all of the major sights many times. Lucky for us, all the major sights does not even cover the magnificent sights that lie deep in the woods. Past the roads. Past the boardwalks. That is where we take our Yellowstone National Park Experience to. This year was the year of the waterfalls. Fairy Falls, Mystic Falls, and the Upper and Lower Falls at Canyon. Along with that we saw Grand Prismatic Spring from the top, ventured into the Hoo Doos, skipped rocks at Lake, and saw Old Faithful go off... twice.
Yellowstone National Park is one of the most majestic places on earth.
If you haven't been, go.
If you have, go again.
If you have already seen all there is to see, you are lying :)
