Days 4 and 5...

Our roadtrip continues to be super busy. In the last two days we have done our best to cover not one...but two national parks...Teton National Park and Yellowstone. We didn't get too crazy at either one...just trying to hit the main things. After a while things start looking the same so we felt we could skip a lot of things. You can only see so many waterfalls and pine trees. The tetons were cool...they'd probably look way better in the winter...but here are a few pictures from day 4. There are a bunch more but it's 2:30 am so this is what you get. :)







They are actually very small...



Monday night we slept in the element. Erica was freaking out about bears so we weren't quite sure where to sleep. She was convinced that the bears would smell something they liked and rip our car (and us) to shreds to get it. Finally, I convinced her we'd be fine...and we made it through the night...

So today was busy trying to cram Yellowstone into one full day. We started off at Old Faithful. This is the famous geyser that is so faithful with it's eruptions. Well, it was a dud this morning. It only went about 5 feet up for maybe 30 seconds. It was right on time though...which was nice because it was FREEZING!! After that disappointment we walked around and looked at a bunch of other nasty smelling geysers and sulfur pools. They smelled extremely foul, but the colors were beautiful. We also did some hiking to some of the famous waterfalls (more at a later time for that) Okay...time for bed...here are a couple more pix...
