Yellowstone Day 3 - Part 2

Ok on to part 2, I like to split it up a little so it isn't so long.
We found him again at the Midway Geyser Basin!  This time when we walked by we over heard him talking to people about the magical healing powers of the spring, and how this is probably where time travel happens.  Amazing!!!
 We saw a hawk!  At least we think that is what it was.


 The water was so blue, reminds me of the ocean in Hawaii


This is the Grand Prismatic Spring - the one where time travel happens :)  It is so beautiful and the colors are amazing!
 I love how even the steam was different colors, and super super blue!




 We found a dragon fly in it, I wonder how long it had been there...
 Oh this is our friend again.  We walked past it pretty quick because the steam was so thick.  But our friend soaked it all in and just sat down for a long while and enjoyed the steam, makes me wonder if he is thinking about time travel.

We went on the Firehole lake drive, but we stayed in the car to save time, so these pictures are from inside the car.  There was just so much to see and so little time!






 
Then we went on to the fountain paint pots they were pretty, and cort fell asleep again, we were all pretty tired!

The orange stuff is bacteria

 This was a pretty one!



 Me by the paint pots
Here is a shot of Chris and a sleepy little girl!

 I think this was Gibbon falls, it was really pretty.  When Cortney walks over grates like this she always says "Hi Bennett!"  Because my brothers taught her that someone named Bennett lives there.



Mammoth hot Springs was the next, again we just drove by because we were trying to get more places into our schedule, so these pictures are taken from the car.




 I really liked this tree, not sure why but I do!




Ok this is it for part 2, there is more on part 3, yes this was a very very long day!
