Day 20.

Mason was awoken by The Wilson's dog Emerald crawling into his sleeping bag, her favorite place. Lol. We were convinced that we needed the local breakfast fare at The Inn at Gallatin Gateway where everything was fresh and homemade including the complimentary donut holes. Yum! After farewells we headed to the West Gate at Yellowstone. We have a day and half here, so we get started. We explored the Fountain Paint Pots(Mason's favorite feature), a few springs and Old Faithful before setting up camp. Old Faithful was 20 min past schedule but more impressive than expected. The kids got their National Park Stamps and we picked out Yellowstone t-shirts. At camp we were able to walk down to the beach of Yellowstone Lake. Spaghetti dinner and a small fire to cook Apple pie crescent rolls for dessert. Chris and I enjoyed Huckleberry beer while we played Gubs, our new favorite card game with the kids. We looked over our literature and maps creating a plan of attack for the next days adventures.
