7-29 (Wed)



Monday I went hiking with my friends. We were going to hike Fairy Falls but when we got there it looked like rain. Since it was close to noon we went on to Old Faithful and had lunch. By then the sun was out so we returned for our hike. We hiked to the falls and then up a mountain so we could look down on the Grand Prismatic Spring. It was beautiful from below but even more so from up above.



On our way home we decided to go by the Canyon area. We went in the Visitor's Center but only for a short time because it was getting ready to close. We drove around to see some of the lodges and cabins we have been selling.



We went on to Mt. Washburn where we got out and did another short hike. We couldn't go far because it was getting dark. On the way home we saw a grizzly and had to be careful because many deer crossed in front of our car. One had a huge rack. We didn't get home until 10:00 but it was a great day.



It has been really cold at night for the past three to four nights. I have had to sleep in my thermal PJ's burrrrr
