geysers – The Wandering Whippersnapper

Today we headed off through Yellowstone and out of the south entrance. We stopped at Grand Prismatic Spring as we haven’t seen that yet. It was amazing. There were lots of colours, reds, oranges, browns, blues and lots of steam. The colours are made from different coloured bacteria called thermophiles. You are not allowed to throw anything in because it will block the geysers and spoil it for everyone else.

On our way we saw a frozen lake. We looked on the map and it was called Lewis lake. We stopped to take a photo and I threw a snowball at daddy and put one up his t-shirt.

Into the Tetons and Jackson lake

We stopped at Jackson lake for a picnic lunch. It was beautiful. I threw some stones in the lake.

We got to the hotel in Driggs which is in a new state, Idaho and it has a pool so we all went swimming. We went to a pub for dinner and I made two new friends.

Today we went to look at Geysers on the West side of Yellowstone. We went to look at Old Faithful again and did a very long walk around all the other Geysers around there. I saw lots of different poo so I took pictures of lots of it so I could check what animal did it. You aren’t allowed to go off the paths in case the ground is on fire but some animals had and we saw their tracks on the ground. The Geysers were lots of different colours like a rainbow. We went to look at a waterfall and we all had a picture. I don’t want to write any more tonight because I’m very tired.

Oh and I took a picture of a Bison and it stated to do a poo so I checked the camera and I took a picture of it.

Each night we upload the pictures from Martha’s camera and there are lots of funny videos she has taken of herself whilst sitting in the back of the car. Unfortunately at the moment our wifi signal isn’t strong enough to upload video but we hope to add some later on in the trip.
