Summer Vacation Trip - Day 6

We were ready to go by 0745.  Ate breakfast (Clif Bars) and packed the car.  Then we took a nice stroll on the Geyser Boardwalk.  The weather was amazing and we completed the entire circuit (all the way to the Morning Glory pool) without feeling hot at all (it was so nice to be in the mountains!).  Mollie worked on her Junior Ranger book and we spoke with a ranger about the park.  After checking out of our cabin, we drove north.  We stopped to visit Biscuit Basin, drove down Firehole Lake Drive and Firehole Canyon Drive and saw some more wildlife (caribou, osprey, marmot).  We wanted to visit a few more geysers but it was too tough to find a parking spot.  Instead, we drove down Virginia Cascade Drive on the way to Canyon Village.  We drove checked out the horse riding site (since we had reservations) and then parked along the road that went along the south rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.  During our walk in the (very crowded) area, we got some good pictures.  We then headed back to Canyon Village, where we ate lunch (hot dogs, chips) at the Yellowstone General Store (1400).  We also stopped at the Visitors Center so Mollie could get her Junior Ranger patch.  We watched a movie there.  Unfortunately, it started raining, so we decided to explore the Canyon Lodge Lounge.  After killing some time, we checked into our cabin (1530) and rested there for a few hours.  At 1730, we drove to the horse ranch but figured out that they'd cancelled all rides for the day.  Instead, we drove north to Mount Washburn, looking for animals (there were none).  The rain got worse after we drove down to Hayden Valley to look for bison, so we returned to Canyon Village.  We ate dinner (turkey croissant, fire roasted vegetable salad) at the Falls Cafe (1845).  Afterwards, we drove back to our cabin and rested some more (still no TV or internet).  At 2130, we drove to the Visitors Center for a Ranger program about owls.  When it was over, we went back to our room and got ready for bed.  We were both asleep by 2245.
