After getting ready and packing up the car, Brady, the kids and I went down to the area below our cabins. Brady had a feeling that if we were quiet enough we might see something. Sure enough a mommy deer and her baby crossed through the clearing. So cute to see the baby with the spots!

We checked out of Canyon Lodge, ate breakfast and then walked over to the gift shop and stores. Hailey found me a dragonfly necklace that I love. They had a bin full of colorful polished rocks that tempt little people and big alike. I remember getting some when I was young so this was her other token Yellowstone purchase.

We made a few pit stops on our journey out of Yellowstone taking in the sights. One of them was the Fishing Bridge. I stayed in the car because Hunter was asleep. Jennifer came back and watched Hunter so I could admire the yummy trout swimming below. On my way to it, this huge Bison seem to come out of no where and was walking down the middle of the road. He was on his way to get a drink of water. We were all so close to it.

Another stop was this lake area with a cool hotel that Jennifer loved the architecture. We made a pit stop at the restrooms and happened upon two  payphones. Those are almost non-existent anymore. Jennifer loaded it with money and let her girls call her brother. Too fun. It was fun telling Hailey about them anyway. Cell phones are so common now!

Hunter was cracking us up at one point and would say my brother's name over and over telling him to stop because he saw something. It was funny. I think he just liked saying my brother's name.
