We awoke, Day 3, with a little car jacker. "Sandy" (as Hayden affectionately called her) got into Maka's car and could not for the life of her get out through the windshield...eventually she found her way out of one of the doors but not before we had a good laugh.
This was the day of driving, hiking, and waterfalls. Yellowstone Lake was so beautiful. As we drove around it I told the kids about my experiences fishing in Yellowstone Lake with my Grandpa and Grandma Dalling. The water is painfully cold, but we always caught fish. 
We stopped at the Mud Volcano and the Dragon Cauldron (my personal favorite!) This was by far the COLDEST spot (we all had on triple layered clothes!) not to mention the 
STINKIEST!
Along the way to the water falls, we drove through Hayden Valley. How ironic that Hayden Valley is where all the animals are...Hmmmm seems fishy to me ;) From the Mud Volcano we could see Hayden Valley and thought this would be a great photo op. Hayden infront of Hayden Valley! 
Next stop was Uncle Tom's Trail. This trail took us to the Lower Falls. As we hiked and hiked, Hayden got hot really fast and shed his three layers of clothing but not before laying on the path and refusing to walk another step! So he shed his clothes and we were able to finish the hike.
Then it was off to the Upper Falls one of the most impressive and breathtaking spots in the world.

After lunch we departed from the rest of the family and headed home, the drive was LONG and our backs and butt's hurt by the end of it, but Yellowstone was well worth it.

Mitch and I went to Yellowstone over the 4th and had about the same rainy experience that you guys had. :) We still had fun though. Grandma Miles said she had a great time, I'm glad she could go with you!
