Grand National Park Trip - Day 3

As we had a pretty late start the day before, we got up early today, packed up and left the hotel early. After a hearty breakfast at McDonalds, we headed to the grocery store to load up on groceries for the next few days before heading to Yellowstone.

The drive to Yellowstone was a beautiful one and thankfully, not as long. The kids who are a little traumatized by long drives have started asking how many hours before the journey begins. We got to Yellowstone around noon and headed straight to our campsite which was a nice camp site(Grant). I took the kids for lunch while Alan and my dad set up camp.

After we got back, everything was set up and since there's still a few hours of sunlight, we headed off for some quick sightseeing!

We checked out some Mud Volcanoes and saw some bisons. As it was our first bison sighting, everybody were super excited!! After that we drove North to go check out the famous Lower and Upper Falls. We headed back to campsite after that.

That night we made some Japanese Curry with couscous for dinner over campfire and stared at stars before calling it a night.

Stubborn bison.. you can see there's an ambulance in the background. They use it to get the bison off the road by flashing and honking!

Oh, here's a video of the bisons we saw. Though i've seen bisons before, i don't remember ever hearing them grunt like this before.. quite cool.
