Everyone slept in again. The boys stayed cuddled up and watched their Pokemon movie while dad and I tried to catch a few extra ZZZZZZ’s. We dumped tanks and added fresh water. We traveled up a short distance from our campground to the West Thumb area and toured a small area of geysers. We all picked out new favorites at this pretty little site along the Yellowstone Lake. Matching pools called the the “Black Pool” and the “Abyss” were full of great colors and lots of steam.
We shopped for some souveniers at a tourist trap nearby and then returned to camp for more bike riding and a few loads of laundry. We dropped off our laundry on our way back to our campsite. Devin and I rode our bikes back twice. The first time we fed the dryers with quarters, then we went back again to fold and pack it into a bag. I carried it back to the RV on my back on my bike.
We grilled fillets for dinner and both boys declared that camp food tasted better than other kind of food. They argued that it was the grill, the meat, the RV, but I know its because they are working up huge appetites everyday with all the biking and hiking!
After dinner, we rode our bikes up to the Ranger station for a visit with the rangers. We saw a great talk on the preditors of Yellowstone.We tried to get another fire going, when we got back to camp, but it started to rain, so we called it a night. Note: the last two nights we have been using our shower to wash the boys and ourselves off. We have been pleasantly surprised how much we like it. We all like the feeling of climbing into bed fresh, washed clean of bug spray and sun block.
Our tanks are full, so we will be dumping and refilling fresh water first thing tomorrow morning.
