Then we made the obligatory pilgrimage to Old Faithful... First we saw one of the neighboring geysers erupt. Then Old Faithful began to steam...

And then I tried to take the kids' picture near Old Faithful...

Take 1, Take 2

Take 3, Take 4 (Oh mom will you STOP already!)

This is as good as it gets, I'm afraid...

And then Old Faithful begain to erupt...

And Tommy, tired of sitting, was happy to do a silly walk on the way to the car, and play "gas man" (you know, the guy who fills up your gas tank) at the hotel.

And finally, the sun set over our first, and very busy, day at Yellowstone.
