So we spent the day at Yellowstone National Park and many are asking \”did you find yogi bear?\”
No

Father looks like a cartoon animal… Weird |
But we did find a bison. Although dissecting the name does not describe the animal …two son. We ended up calling it bis-li which is Hebrew for my bis and also the kids favorite snack food. Seeing such a large animal and the excitement of the visitors was quite comical. Naomi was calculating how many steaks could she get out of it.

\”Bisli\” needs corrective neck surgery or something |
This was the hardest day for father by far as there was no internet in the park. Father kept asking mother why she researched every detail of the trip other than the cell service. We still aren\’t sure if he was serious or not because he \”likes\” to make jokes.
We started off taking pictures with the tetons in the background on the way to Yellowstone where it appears that akiva was wearing tefillin.

It\’s a camera strap |
Next we headed towards Old Faithful, a natural geyser. While waiting an hour for the thing to shpritz some water, we found out that die hard fans are called geyser gazers. These guys are serious about following the multitude of geysers throughout the area armed with walkie talkies and the knowledge of when they are going to spring forth. Suffice it to say we were not impressed by this and are likely not going to become geyser gazers.
Next we walked around some of the natural springs and surprisingly we took some pictures.
Here we are at the Grand Prismatic, the largest hot spring in the US and third largest in the world. It kind of looks like a giant toilet that hadn\’t been used for years and formed rust around the edges of the water then you added the blue tablets in it and wala… Clean.
As we drove to the grand canyon we passed by another geyser.
I was checking if you were paying attention. We are on our way to the grand canyon of Yellowstone not that other grand canyon we went to last week. It\’s kind of like McGill is the Harvard of Canada, this was the grand canyon of Yellowstone.

Ezi called this a reverse geyser |
At this point, mother\’s ability to pull out dinner from the cooler feels like Eliyahu\’s blessing of limitless oil and flour. Only difference is that Mother was pulling out marinated meat and chicken for three full weeks instead of oil and flour. We ended up sleeping in Big Sky, Montana.
