Today we saw lots of elk, and, you wouldn’t believe this but we saw a bear! We were just driving to the geyser walk when we saw tons and tons of cars parked along the road. Jasmine and I curiously looked out the window to the meadow, and we saw a bear! Two actually, but we were too excited knowing that we saw a bear! My dad stopped the RV while Jasmine and I rushed out the door, hoping that the bears would stay. And when we rushed over, they were still there! I snatched the binoculars out of my dad’s hands and looked through the binoculars. It was so cute! It was furry and brown, and it looked soft. He was walking around eating grass. I skimmed through the trees, and guess what I saw? I saw a smaller and cuter bear! He was walking around in the thick grass. Once I saw him getting his nose tickled by the grass, so he shook his head. They were the cutest black bears I have ever seen! I feel great to have seen a bear in Yellowstone finally!
Elk were all over the place! Lazing in the shade of a tree near a log cabin were elk. Mostly there were mother elk with no horns. They were just lying there or just eating grass. They seemed to ignore us humans, but that didn’t bother me. It was nice seeing the elk up close!
While we were driving, we all noticed that the cars were slowing. As usual, we all looked out the window, waiting. What we saw was a bison. He was walking in the middle of the road, right exactly on the yellow line. He was just walking, like, no one can bother me, I am just taking a calm stroll, so don’t pay any attention to me. But everyone was paying attention to him. Of course! He was a bison walking straight in the middle of the road! We all waved hi to him as we drove past, bit he just stared down at the yellow line in front of him. We also saw a really pretty bird!
Our walk in the geysers was not the most fun thing. First of all, the geysers and hot springs were dried up. So basically all there was is sand and dirt and holes. It was not really fun at all. But with my mom to talk to, it was at least partially enjoyable. There was one that still had water running down it, and it looked kind of like an anteater to me. We all had different opinions though. My mom said she thought it looked like a bulldog. I wonder what other people would think (comment please!).

Luckily, one thing has been getting better. The weather! It’s getting warmer and sunnier, so it will be in nice weather that we visit Devil’s Tower tomorrow!

Dear tingting
I really enjoy reading your blog and like your beautiful shots,especially the bird on the roof, the lake with snow-capped mountains, and the canyon.
I heard it snowed even in June this year. Did you see any on the road?
And I thought your dad is really cool. He can handle the giant RV in the mountain road :) I want ask him: r u nervous driving that big truck?
Thanky you! Actually my mom took all the pictures. And we did see lots of snow on the road, but mostly on the mountain. My dad says he is a little nervous, but he might just be bluffing, so don't take his word for it.
