Day 4 of our Wild Wild West Adventure

We awoke early packed our lunch and headed to do some early sightseeing of Wild Life. We were able to see some close up views of herds of buffalo. We did some hiking to see the upper and lower falls of the Grand Canyon. It was awesome to be able to see it from every angle. We also visited the Mud Pots where we saw 2 big buffalo right near them. We watched the buffalo cross the sidewalks right before our eyes. We also saw drove through Hayden Valley and visited The Dragons Mouth which was really neat. After we went to Yellow Stone Lake and ate our lunch right next to the lake. The kids did some great hiking today and I was really proud of them.
After our adventure into the park we returned back to the cabin. The kids found their next letter in the Pony Express mail. It read the following… It’s time to put away your cowboy gear! Get ready to be an Indian! You need to look like one so gather around the table! We are going to; Make an Indian necklace, Put on your headdress, Put on your war paint and get ready to shoot straight. Good Luck! There will be more prizes today! The kids dressed up like Indians with war paint. The boys made necklaces with real buffalo teeth and beads and the girls received an Indian necklace. The girls made their own Indian Head Dress and the Boys received their Indian Head Dress which Grandpa had purchased. The kids ventured outside to shoot real bow and arrows. They all had a blast and received fun prizes.

Later that evening the kids wanted to spend some of the money that Grandpa and Grandma had given them. We ventured downtown looking for some fun souvenirs. Payton got a moose and Savannah got a beaver, a shirt and some jewelry.
