We started the morning off by releasing one of our monarch butterflies.

After that we did a lot of driving through the upper loop of Yellowstone. Our first stop... Mammoth Hot Springs.

Our next stop was the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and the Lower and Upper Falls. Those waterfalls were huge, and so cool.
