Day 5: Entering Yellowstone via north entrance
2009.07.04
In our opinion, Billings KOA is the best among those which we have been to. We were lucky this time to get a tent site which was so near to the bathroom.

Good morning... hee! Last night at 10.30pm, we went to pick up Kandak at Billings Airport which is less than 10 minute drive from the campsite. Farhan was so eager to setup his 'lil tent prior to his arrival.

After having our usual continental breakfast, we left for Yellowstone National Park. We enjoyed the scenic drive with beautiful mountain range and lots of cattles gazing the grass. Btw, that's Yellowstone river. We took lots of pictures throughout our journey but due to 30 pictures per entry limit for this photoblog, I could only share this picture. Heh!

Even though this was our second time here with the kids, we haven't seen this gateway because this time we came from the North entrance.

We stopped by at Mammoth Hot Springs. Kids recalled we saw lots of deers here as well during our visit last summer.

Sarah started to feel uncomfortable about exposing herself to the hot summer sun. She was so worried about getting tanned.

We arrived at West Yellowstone KOA around 4pm. Hey, we set up our gazebo for the first time over the picnic table. Since we would be staying here for three nights, it would be convenient to have this setup for us to conveniently enjoy our meal.

Farhan did not want to miss grilling marshmallows to make s'mores. Ohh... how we appreciated the fire as the temperatures reduced drastically to the 40s at night. We would need to be wrapped properly in order to sleep well. Wish us luck!
