After setting up camp and having a bite to eat for dinner we decided to take the quick drive to see Old Faithful. We figured at 6 o'clock at night the crowd would be leaving the park and there might even be a better chance to see animals on the drive to Old Faithful. Our camp was 4 blocks from the entrance of the park and about a 30 minute drive to Old Faithful. We stopped at the painters pots to take a look at a few geysers on the way. The boys were excited to see what the geysers were all about, but of course didn't love the smell. Gannon didn't like the steam coming by him either.
We somehow timed Old Faithful perfect. It goes off approximately every 90 minutes and we got there with about 10 minutes to wait, not bad. We watched the quick explosion (or whatever it's called) and they boys thought that was pretty cool and then we headed back to camp. Didn't see any animals, but the sunset was very pretty!
