This morning we awoke early and saw some deer outside of our camp. There were at least 4 of them but a big one with antlers was chomping on the grass right out front. It was fun to wake up Leah to tell her that reindeer were outside her window!
After a nice big breakfast we went over to our campgrounds marina and rented a motor boat. We took the boat out for 1 hour onto Yellowstone Lake with Daddy at the wheel. The lake is so beautiful and huge… it is 20 miles by 14 miles. We all enjoyed the beautiful scenery and being out on the lake. After that it was a short hike to a picnic spot on the shore for lunch. Then the kids dropped their fishing lines in the lake from the shore. We did that until we had to leave because of all of the bugs. Then we decided to do a hike from there to a natural bridge so off we went. Megan is very afraid of the forest and bears so she was crying very early on. So, we decided to turn around 30 minutes or so into the hike. Give her any mountain or canyon hike and she is fine but her imagination and fears run wild in the forest. So we just went back to camp to hang out. Shortly after we were back a bison came into our campsite and we watched it most of the afternoon but at one point it was so close we had to be in the RV watching it munch on our grass. Nothing like viewing wildlife right from your campsite!
