The Adventures of Yellowstone

We've been having a lovely time in Yellowstone. I would recommend this trip to anyone who has a love of outdoor life and the animal kingdom. Also, if you want a chance to get to know your family better, confinement in a car for 8 or more hours gives you that chance. That's my suggestion today. Plan vacations with your family often.

Thus far, we have enjoyed seeing many bear. One sighting on Sunday with Grandpa and Grandma Bennett (before Joey and Michelle arrived) we saw a mother grizzly with 4 cubs. A man told us that this is only the 4th known quad births since 1945. Wow! That day we saw black bear and cubs twice and another grizzly.

Of course, we have seen elk, moose, deer, buffalo, mountain goats, marmot, squirrels, muskrat, geese, pelicans, cranes, osprey, and much scenery. The weather has been cooperative with snow, rain, sun, wind, and cooler temperatures.

We were sad when grandpa and grandma announced yesterday morning that they were going home in time to see Roger before he leaves on his trip. I think grandpa just can't sit still for many days before he gets antsy.

Best wish to all. The vacations teach you a lot about loved ones and it certainly helps teach one how to open up and communicate more. Love to all.

I didn't realize you were in Yellowstone! That's so exciting that you got to see all those cubs. -I'm jealous. I've never been able to spot one. I hope we can take a trip there this summer.
