This last weekend we decided to take what we thought was a day trip to Cody, WY. Because of road detours and 4 of us having to stop to do work, we made it to Cody in perfect timing for the nightly 6pm reenactment of a gun fight with the infamous Buffalo Bill, who was from Cody. Though the acting was a bit corny it was still fun to see and the man who played Buffalo Bill (man with the white hair) did an amazing job portraying him, looked just like the real Buffalo Bill. They performed the gun fight in front of a Wyoming historical sport-The Irma Hotel, built by Buffalo Bill and named after his daughter.
After the show we walked around the cute shops and had dinner at the Irma hotel. We realized that we were too close to the East Entrance to Yellowstone to just turn around that night and go back home. After dinner we all checked in to a local hotel and made a late night Walmart run for tooth brushes, contact solution and all other needed personal necessities for a random-fun-unplanned overnight adventure. Thank goodness for 24hr Walmarts ; )
The next morning we woke up and were ready for a fun adventure filled day of beautiful scenery, animals and even nicer weather-you couldn't ask for a prettier day to go through Yellowstone National park. It was a beautiful drive through the Park seeing the green hillsides, wildflowers and waterfalls. As for animals we saw lots of Buffalos, Elk, and at the exit of the Park near Jackson Hole we even got a glimpse of a Bear crossing the road! All of the geysers looked amazing, you could feel the heat rom the steam when he wind blew, pretty amazing what the Earth can do and the power it has. It was a great trip! By the time we got home all of us were pooped!
