Yellowstone National Park

Shortly after we arrived at Yellowstone, a lightening storm hit us forming a striking setting for some shots of the white thermal terraces against the dark grey sky. Between showers we managed to get the tent up, see some impressive lava lined gorges, breathtaking waterfalls and have Jue cook a delicious meal over the fire. Jamila had "the best day ever" on her birthday. She had a party with her toys near the lake, a wander around deep springs, licked chocolate icecream at the Old Faithful Inn (stunning log lodge) and saw old Faithful geyser blow it's top - "It's saying happy birthday to you Jammy!" To finish up, spotting a couple of bears in the wild (a black and grizzly) made for a perfect day.
