Old Faithful

If we were to do it over again, Old Faithful would not have been the last stop on our list. We could have spent an entire day here, planning a way to see all of the major geysers go off. The boys were devastated when it was time to leave--many, many tears. I even shed a few as we left the park--this truly was an exceptional trip (so great, that I'm still recovering and being very lazy this week--I feel like I need a week to recuperate from our 10 days of straight fun)!
Old Faithful himself was of course pretty cool to see. We hiked up a mountain to get a cool view of the area from above.

Rob took Evan "Mountain Strollering" on the way down!!

We thought the best view of Old Faithful (we saw him go off 3 times) was from the back side--less crowds and less steam, we could actually see the water.

The highlight--or Grand Finale--was seeing Grand Geyser display it's magic! Grand is the largest predictable geyser, going off every 7-9 hours. The predicted time was 11:30 am with a 2 hour leeway before and after. We only ended up having to wait 10-15 minutes past the predicted time to see this beauty!! Jared and I missed the start because we took a stroll to see Castle Geyser, but we weren't disappointed in the 10 minute finale that we did see.

Enjoy a small sampling!!
