Yellowstone (Do you smell rotten eggs??)

Again writing while driving . . . We're on our way to Washington through Montana (mostly), to meet Barb, Martin & family, and then Ashley & family!!

Yellowstone was amazing!!! When we first arrived in the park Scott smelled rotten eggs and asked if someone farted. Later he says "Seriously, who farted this time?!" The smell was pretty strong but no one would own up to it. The third time this occurred we realized the smell was actually sulfur coming from the springs near the road. While in Yellowstone, we saw plenty more wildlife including but not limited to: deer, elk, bison, geese, crane, pelicans, black bear, grizzly bear, and to top off all that we saw a bald eagle on our way out this morning! There were plenty of beautiful rivers, streams and waterfalls also. We saw so many geysers and springs that we completely lost count. The springs/geysers were really cool, especially in their diversity. We have a lot of pictures on facebook, but that's not even a fraction of what we saw! The water in the springs/geysers literally boils and everywhere we went smelled like sulfur (sometimes a little, sometimes a lot). I took a few pictures of some on the signs around because we thought they were interesting, and a little bit funny, so check those out. A lot of the pictures have captions including our thoughts so make sure you check those out too. I also took a few videos because the sound was as much a part of the experience as the sight. Sorry about some of the videos being sideways, I forgot I don't have a decent movie maker program on the laptop . . . Sorry!!

Sheala's Spot: I really liked Old Faithful and all the other geysers. Mostly because they were so cool and they were all sorts of different colors which made it even cooler. The smell was really bad but they were really awesome anyway. I love you and I miss you all, goodbye!

Cameron's Corner: I liked seeing buffalo, a bald eagle, and chipmunks. I also liked the things that shoot water up in the air and the colorful pools. I love you all, mwah!!
