Last day in Yellowstone

Today we decided to go back to Old Faithful. It is a long drive back in but this is what we came for and the scenery is gorgeous.
We stopped at the actual fishing bridge to take a few pictures. What is so ironic is this is called fishing bridge but you can't fish from it. I guess you used to but too many people would all crowd the bridge so you can't fish from here any more.





We drove on around to Old Faithful. It is so beautiful here. I was so glad we decided to come back again because the actual eruption lasted quite a bit longer this time then it did the other day.



We had been reading some ghost stories about the park and two were in the Old Faithful Inn. One was a bride whose husband killed her on her honeymoon so we searched out the room# and took our pictures in front of it. The other was about a little boy that would approach you and tell you he was lost. When you take him to get help he disappears. We didn't see either ghost but Jenni was sure scared.






We found another picnic area for lunch that had a stream through it. I think the kids could spend hours playing in these streams. This one wasn't quite as cold as yesterday.
We headed back out and I grabbed a shot of the gates where you enter and leave the park. We were all a little sad about leaving for the last time. It really is a magical place with such beauty!






We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening hanging out at the RV park. There is so much to do here that I felt bad the kids hadn't been here for three days.
