Yellowstone



Some of Spalding's family is visiting from Mauritius. We went to Yellowstone for the day. There were many buffalo. We got stuck in a herd while driving. We also saw Elk, a bald eagle, and a bear. Old Faithful was still faithful, blowing about every 90 minutes during the day. We picnicked and enjoyed the sunshine.

There is still lots of snow there. We found out that the caldera that is in Yellowstone (1200 square miles) is bigger than the entire island of Mauritius (720 square miles). We saw the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, and also the fountain paintpots. It was a fun day.

Looks like fun, but still cold. I bet Spaldings family loved seeing the park. Lots of adventures ahead!!!
