Wyoming

Here are our Wyoming adventures... We stayed in the little town of Cody which is an hour and a half away from Yellowstone park. Our first day we had fun exploring the south loop of the park. We saw bison & ducks... Not too much wildlife... The Old Faithful geyser was really beautiful! We showed up just in time to get a perfect seat and see it go off! After that, we headed over to the lodge that was right there and ate an amazing dinner! We met Tyson... A very lively guy who we had so much fun with! Once we were finished eating we drove all the way back to Cody and finally arrived super late at 1:00! Our next day we went white water rafting early in the morning. This was Ryker and my first experience at this but mom and Noelani have white water rafted before. I throughly loved my first time and hope to do it again someday! After rafting, we drove an hour to a nearby town called Thermopolis. There was a mineral hot springs there where we relaxed and soaked in for the allowed time. After driving the hour back we hung out at a pool for the rest of the day then attended a night rodeo. Now I can say I've been to a rodeo in the rodeo capital of the world! Our next day we finished out Yellowstone by completing the North loop. Here we saw a lot more animals including a bear and herds of bison! A famous guy titled 'Liver Eating Johnston' was buried in Cody so we visited this disgusting guys grave... The last thing we did in Cody was going on a wild mustang hunt. We found a herd of about 80 mustangs by a watering hole. I loved seeing horses in their natural habitat... It is so much different but really cool! Overall, I am so glad that we got to visit Yellowstone park but I'd never really come back I don't think. I really enjoyed everything in Cody though... Especially the rodeo and the whole feel of that western town!
