Leaving Yellowstone...finally!

I know, I know. Slowest. blogger. ever. Heavens, I have so much free time on my hands I just can't understand why I'm not finished with all of these pictures yet! :D

So without further ado, here is our last morning in Yellowstone:

On our way out, we drove to Fishing Bridge. Kind of ironic, since fishing's been prohibited for fifty years or so! If you've not been there, Fishing Bridge spans the Yellowstone River where it leaves Lake Yellowstone. This one has the kids facing the lake, the camera facing the river:

There are stairs going down from the bridge so you can walk along the riverbanks, but the water was too high while we were there. It covered the bottom three steps.

Jeff stayed on the bridge with Lily--we were a little worried she might decide to go for a swim!

We had to pry the kids off of the steps. I think they would have been happy to sit there for an hour! What were they so fascinated with? Fish! These fish were maybe 1½-2" long, not very big at all. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that there were probably a hundred thousand of them--they extended up & down both banks as far as we could see.
