Snow Day at Yellowstone National Park

We had a long, full day yesterday so we sleep in this morning. We wake up to a fresh 3 inch layer of snow! The average June in Yellowstone has less than an inch of snow—they had a blizzard of 10 inches last Thursday and another 8 inches in the last two days!

After driving through so much snow yesterday, we decide to just stick around the campground, do some laundry and enjoy the snow.

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade—when Yellowstone gives you snow, make snowmen:

Joe and I have fun building our snowman and then having a huge snowball fight. There is so much snow here and it is perfect snowball conditions.

We spend the rest of the day watching videos and playing games and reading our mail (thank you, Jackie, for sending it). Joe got a new wii game from his sister, so he is quite happy to play Mario Kart while the weather is too cold for normal outdoor activities. It snows off and on throughout the day. In the evening we make a quick trip up the road 5 miles to get cell service and check emails. I am tired of the snow and cold.
